STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR, ALDERMAN DAN PLATO Mayor Dan Plato has visited organisations in Bishop Lavis, Delft and Tafelsig as he continues with his drive to assist community organisations across Cape Town, handing over equipment and ingredients to support the work done to feed Cape Town, particularly during COVID-19.
Mayor Plato has supplied organisations with a three-plate gas burner, two large cooking pots (100L & 80 L) and a range of dry ingredients such as lentils , samp, and beans, among other items.
NGOs based in Bishop Lavis, Delft and Tafelsig received these items yesterday.
Grassy Park and Lavender Hill received these items earlier this week.
NGOs in Atlantis, Mamre, Lotus River, and Marikana informal settlement were given these items last week.
A total of 21 soup kitchens across the Metropole will be assisted.
Florence Campbell of Woman To Woman, a NGO in Bishop Lavis, focuses on assisting survivors of gender-based violence, but says since the outbreak of COVID-19, the need has extended to other members of the
community.
‘We saw the need and requested assistance from the Mayor's office.
The donation from the city allows us to feed more people than those we normally feed and we are very appreciative of this donation,' said Campbell.
