NELSON Mandela Bay Municipality Executive Mayor Nqaba Bhanga has called on residents and private businesses to support the Uitenhage & District SPCA by donating to their needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Bhanga visited the SPCA premises in Uitenhage to donate puppy and kitten food that he received through donations from a private donor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a humbling experience to visit the SPCA and interact with staff and animals that are getting good care here. However, it was clear to me that this place needs more assistance,\u201d said Executive Mayor Bhanga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we are all to achieve the commitment of being a City that cares, it has to include the way we take care of our animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI call on all residents and private businesses to support this place in whatever way they can, either financially or through partnerships and collaborations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Uitenhage & District SPCA operates as a Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality service provider to run an animal pound and take care of the well-being of animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of improving conditions of the facility, the municipality has budgeted close to one million rand for refurbishments. Part of the work that will be done includes refurbishment of the boundary wall, steel works, back up power, security system and office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Bhanga said he would continue to mobilize resources from both himself, friends, the general public and business sector to assist the centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to create a Caring City, caring about the people we serve, more especially the vulnerable, our animals. The environment will always be a critical pillar of the work that we do,\u201d said Mayor Bhanga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
