“As the poor starve in poor marginalised mining affected communities amid lockdown, NGOs, extend a helping hand”
As South Africa enters the 3rd day of its unprecedented extended 14-day national lockdown as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many are concerned over what this means for the poor marginalised mining affected communities in rural Limpopo Province especially Fetakgomo-Tubatse Local Municipality which is home for almost 30 mining companies.
Now more than ever, destitute families, child headed households and informal traders whom all relied on this mines need our help. To tackle the problem, MACUA/WAMUA have sent volunteers to rural areas—through its district branch to distribute food parcels that would see the recipients enjoy healthy meal for 3 weeks. Volunteers also uses the opportunity to pass down information about how to avoid getting infection and the importance of staying at home as well as how through social distancing they can assist our government to help deal with the pandemic.
