Mariannhill communications officer, Wonderboy Nxumalo, said the organisations began the charity at home by cleaning the outside building of the station. They proceeded to Tshelimnyama to donate food relief to two families who were affected by the April floods. The donation was also extended to the founder of the Little Star Care Centre that was also affected.

Mariannhill station commander, Colonel Muzi Thwala, extended words of comfort to both families. “We would like to assure them that the SAPS family will always be with them, and the relationship between them and SAPS will be strengthened,” he said.
