Thus, the effects are far-reaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Kouga Municipality, we would like to ensure that they stay warm and healthy by kitting them out for winter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can, however, not do this without the generous help of our wonderful residents. Help us to spread love and warmth this winter by supporting our winter campaign: Winter Woolies \u2013 Keep Kouga Caring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Hendricks, every employee and councillor is,
