Our councillor Xolani Diniso is trying his best to ensure that we get food since the incident occurred. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are various organisations bringing different things like blankets, mattresses, food parcels etc. We are not struggling that bad, but our concern is to get building material to rebuild our shacks,&#8221; said Bangani, adding that she lost everything during the incident. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She urged anyone to contribute with whatever they have to help them. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso said as leaders they are trying hard to ensure that their lives are going back to normal. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said there are various organisations and people who have donated food parcels and other essential items. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The national Department of Social Development donated 657 mattresses, 657 blankets, 500 packets of toiletries and is providing three meals a day, while Gift of the Givers donated 150 packets of toiletries, 400 blankets, 400 mattresses and two meals a day. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/MATTRESSES3_27127.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ward 86 councillor Xolani Diniso with some of the items that are donated to the shack fire victims.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The United Crisis faith based organisation donated 200 food parcels and also the Red Cross is providing a meal a day,&#8221; said Diniso. He said they are fixing communal toilets and trying to restore the electricity in the area. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diniso said they informed the national Department of Human Settlement about the inferno. He described the incident as a disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are many people who are struggling to rebuild their shacks. The issue here is that most of the people who are staying here are unemployed and others are doing odd jobs. It is difficult for them to buy a three metre shack, which costs R7\u2009000. But for now, we accept whatever it comes,&#8221; said Diniso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged all the local businesses and non-governmental organisations to come on board to assist the victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humanitarian support is streaming in and making a difference as donations bring relief to shack fire victims in Lwandle following a
