AfriSoC volunteers visited Mandlazini last week and conducted awareness campaigns at the community clinic, sport facilities and at spaza shops.
‘With the support of Zululand Observer’s DICE charity organisation and Hillside Aluminium, sponsored masks were distributed in public areas around Mandlazini and awareness raised about the seriousness of the pandemic,’ said Steven.
The organisation will continue with its distribution efforts, and any business or individual prepared to donate masks can contact Steven on 082 7012483.
