The Department of Social Development provided immediate assistance to an elderly woman and her two grandchildren in Acornhoek, Mpumalanga, after their home collapsed due to flooding. Deputy Minister Ganief Hendricks delivered an eight-sleeper army tent, funded by the Chinese Embassy, along with additional tents from other donors, aiming to reach a total of 100 tents for affected families. Efforts are also underway to secure alternative land for food cultivation, as the tent was placed on previously used gardening space.
