Durban - People who had expected to receive food parcels and vouchers on Wednesday were left disappointed after the eThekwini municipality postponed the initiative.
Councillors were to identify needy families from their wards to receive vouchers or parcels. The programme provides R66 million worth of relief to eThekwini residents. Parcels were to be given to people who did not have access to large supermarkets in the more rural areas, and vouchers to people able to get to stores in urban areas. One thousand of these food vouchers or hampers were to be given out in each ward.
