Jacaranda FM Donation Drive to Limpopo and Mpumalanga disaster victims. Picture: Supplied Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels initiative has launched Project Food Relief, an emergency campaign to support communities in Limpopo and Mpumalanga devastated by floods that have claimed at least 37 lives and displaced thousands. Heavy rains over the past week have caused severe flooding across both provinces, with overflowing rivers, collapsed bridges and widespread destruction of roads and critical infrastructure.
The government has declared both provinces disaster areas, with damage to public and private infrastructure estimated at billions of rands. Large areas remain without water and electricity, as many families have lost their homes and belongings in the disaster. According to disaster relief organisationGift of the Givers, the most urgent needs include bottled water, non-perishable food, baby formula, nappies, and toiletries.
The radio station is calling on listeners and corporations to step up and provide emergency relief to those in need of basic supplies. “Good Morning Angels has always been about bringing hope and practical support to those in need, and this flood crisis hits close to home for so many South Africans,” said Vuyani Dombo, managing director at Jacaranda FM. The station is partnering with Gift of the Givers and Lions Club to ensure donations reach affected communities quickly.
