A Team from a Local Midrand Radio Station Mobilises Emergency Flood Relief for Limpopo and Mpumalanga Communities
Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels Mobilises Emergency Flood Relief for Limpopo and Mpumalanga Communities
Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels initiative has launched Project Food Relief, an urgent campaign to support communities in Limpopo and Mpumalanga following devastating floods that have claimed at least 37 lives and left thousands displaced.
Torrential rains over the past week have caused severe flooding across both provinces, leading to overflowing rivers, collapsed bridges, and widespread destruction of roads and critical infrastructure. Large areas have been left without water and electricity, with many families losing their homes and belongings. Both provinces have since been declared Disaster Areas by the South African government, with damage to public and private infrastructure estimated in the billions.
Many have lost homes and belongings, and according to disaster relief organisation Gift of the Givers, the urgent needs include bottled water, non-perishable food, baby formula and nappies, and toiletries. Jacaranda FM is calling on listeners and corporates to step up and help provide emergency relief to those in need of basic supplies.
