POLOKWANE – With temperatures set to dip again in the coming weeks and the winter far from over, the MEC for social development, Joyce Mshamba, made her contribution to ensure that the basic and immediate humanitarian needs of children and people working and living on the streets are addressed by giving them the gift of warmth.
On Monday July 21 Mashamba met with some of the homeless people of the city at the Christ Church Cathedral soup kitchen on the corner of Biccard and Jorrisen Street.
Volunteers from churches in Polokwane uses this church as a base for a soup kitchen that caters for homeless people in the city.
The MEC handed over some blankets and food to the people who came to the soup kitchen for their daily bread as part of the department’s Winter Warmer initiative.
The Winter Warmer initiative was launched by the national department of social development and is aimed at ensuring vulnerable people do not have to bear the full brunt of winter.
