I would love to make it possible to feed my community daily, even adding a bowl of warm soup with the bread would be great.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Puley is supported by a team of 16 qualified bakers, confectioners and deliverymen. Though they are equally experiencing unforeseen challenges due to the pandemic, Puley and his employees are adamant at succeeding and helping their community regardless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wishes for the outreach to his community to be a daily project because people cannot survive on one to two loaves of bread a week. Puley says it would be better if it could be an daily project, and not just weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would love to make it possible to feed my community daily, even adding a bowl of warm soup with the bread would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked if he has any plans on how to achieve that, he says by just doing whatever he can and hoping that someone recognises his good deed and offer more help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Puley continues to give back to his Progress community, he urges people to do more and help wherever they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople need to come together in these trying times. The government is doing its share, but this is a unique situation, and everyone must join in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf an individual can bridge a gap government is failing to cover, then he needs to do so. Communities need to recognise the needy in their midst and try to support them,\u201d says Puley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
