“South African society has voted with an overwhelming “NO” to Xenophobia, coming out in full support for foreign nationals who they regard as fellow brothers and sisters. The messages of support, request for bank details, efforts to set up fund-raising campaigns and events, offer of medical and general volunteers and a desire to prepare cooked meals and donate items in kind has been absolutely sensational, heart warming and so, so satisfying.”

Along with the Presidents visit to KZN and the government funds allocated to the victims, countless other companies, foundations and civilians have joined in the efforts with funds and blankets, volunteers, food, toothpaste, sanitary pads, diapers, clothing etc.
