The SPCA advised the rovers that any donations which cannot be used at the SPCA will be distributed to other branches, specifically those in KwaZulu-Natal.

Donations can be made to First National Bank, account number 5111 271 6150, branch Eastgate (250 655).
Community members under 30 years old and interested in making a difference are invited to become rovers or join one of the other branches of Scouts South Africa.
