Those who wish to distribute directly to communities must first obtain authorisation from the department.
The Gauteng department of social development has outlined strict guidelines for the donation and distribution of food parcels in the province during lockdown.
Companies and organisations will be expected to present their addresses, registration numbers and donation contents. “All applications to distribute donations should be submitted to the department no less than 48 hours before the envisaged distribution date. Upon receipt of the authorisation letter from the department, the organisation must inform a local police station prior to the delivery of food supplies,” said Mhlongo.
