“Coming in the wake
of a bruising cold front
over the weekend, this
donation could not have
come at a better time
and we are deeply grateful for the support from
the Shoprite Group.
When government and
the private sector join
hands like this, there are
not many obstacles we
cannot overcome. So,
thank you Shoprite and
may we in the course
of this crisis have more
opportunities to come
together to assist the
people of the Western
Cape,” says Mbombo.
