LISTEN! Feeding starving SAs where even hungry street dogs have disappeared

Generosity of spirit has been displayed by many South Africans with news surfacing of hungry communities in the country being plunged into deeper poverty as Covid-19 has taken its toll on the economy. People have pitched in to raise money for food and do-gooders have swooped in to distribute bags of donations across South Africa. One woman from Johannesburg has realised that all this giving is not enough. She is Marilyn Bassin, who has relentlessly sought to find the deep rural areas that others may have missed, and she has trawled the internet to find charity organisations who may need help. Bassin started ‘Save a Soul’, a charity focused on hunger during the Covid-19 lockdown, with Rose Kransdorff to provide e-Pap - a porridge that provides nutrition in small portions - to impoverished communities. She told BizNews that she found communities who had not received any help, in a heart-wrenching story about how Covid-19 has had a devastating effect on many people. Learn more about your ad choices.
