Shoprite has announced that it has assisted Nelson Mandela Bay flood relief efforts. The group acted to help community members affected by the floods in the Eastern Cape’s Nelson Mandela Bay.
According to the group, the Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchens have been serving warm meals to hundreds of displaced residents at various locations in Kariega. Blankets are also being distributed in partnership with Gift of the Givers.
"We remain in close contact with the relevant disaster relief organisations and authorities to determine what aid is required and how we can be of further support," says Sanjeev Raghubir, head of sustainability and CSI at the Shoprite Group.
The group says that customers wishing to support relief efforts can donate as little as R5 to the '#ActForChange' Fund at the till point in all Shoprite, Checkers and Usave supermarkets nationwide.
