UMDONI MUNICIPALITY | KWA-ZULU NATAL
SEPTEMBER
In Umdoni area, Cllr Asghar is hosting an ‘Each one Feed one’ campaign at the Umzinto Offices. Members from the community that can donate, or sponsor hampers or items of food deliver them at our office and we distribute to community members who leave their names at the office if they are in need of food. The campaign is growing well, and we are helping to fight hunger in our community.
This month we were sponsored with R2500 for our campaign, and we created hampers for the community.
We have recruited a new paid-up member from Mthwalume to assist us in campaigning as well as two others in Braemar. They are excited and proud to join Al Jama-ah.
The Al Jama-ah Umzinto Offices continues to assist the community with Indigent free water applications and rates applications and thus far has written off approximately R900 000 worth of water bills from several community members. The office is opened to the public if they require any needs of assistance or service delivery.
