This morning the Shoprite Group of Companies sent out its soup truck to feed the fire victims.
A consignment of clothing and building kits will also be provided to the fire victims by the City’s Disaster Risk Management Centre.
Shoprite will further assist by providing the victims with food vouchers to the value of R10 000,00.
The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman Jean-Pierre Smith, will join the Divisional Finance Manager of Shoprite Western Cape for the handing over of the vouchers.
