As part of doing their bit for the community, Saduma Security has come up with a novel idea.
Friday was the first of what they hope will be an annual soup kitchen event whereby they eventually want to feed a 1000 people at a time.
The soup kitchen was set up on the corner of Westlake Avenue and Albertina Sisulu Street in a joint effort with Shoprite Checker’s mobile soup kitchen team. There was enough soup and bread to feed about 500 people.
According to Saduma’s Sales and Marketing Manager Charlene Lessing the idea is to not just bring temporary relief by filling hungry stomachs but to make a long term impact by giving those less fortunate hope and dignity. Lessing said she uses the soup kitchen as an opportunity to record the names and skills of those who they feed and then put it on to a database. Once they are fingerprinted and have passed a polygraph test she will in turn promote them with Saduma’s client base.
“If say one of our clients nee
d for example a plumber and I have a plumber on my list then I can recommend his services,” said Lessing.
