NSPCA in dire state as donations dwindle - The lack of funding has led to closure of 43 branches of the National Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals nationwide
public relations officer, Keshvi Nair, said the donations most SPCAs receive today are far less than they received years ago.
She said the organisation is struggling to make up for the shortfalls, which has resulted in the closure of 43 branches, leaving the organisation with only 77 nationwide. She said that the Germiston SPCA has three vehicles but only one in working order. Two of the vehicles have engine and brake problems and the speedometer on one vehicle is in need of repair.
Germiston is in debt with Ekurhuleni municipality and is operating with no electricity. This affects the phone lines which, in turn, prevents the public from requesting assistance for animals in need.
