ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile vowed that the massive donation of food sourced would reach the most vulnerable communities in South Africa.
Pretoria – ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile on Tuesday vowed that the massive donation of food sourced from the Africa-Shangai General Chamber of Commerce and the SA-China Cross Border E-Commerce Association would reach the most vulnerable communities in South Africa.
“Many of our people are complying with lockdown regulations, they are staying at home. They cannot go work and therefore they can’t organise food. Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa Li Nan said that Pretoria has been decisive in its interventions against the coronavirus and the people of South Africa have responded positively.
"However, as an unintended consequence of the lockdown, many people have encountered the inconveniences and difficulties of work and life.” "On Thursday, the Bank of China Joburg branch handed over 100 000 masks, 600 protective gowns and five ventilators to department of health, which is worth R2 million,” the Chinese diplomat said.
