GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - Two families recently lost everything when fires destroyed their homes, but Graaff-Reinet residents stepped in proving that locals still care.
The Real Housewives of Graaff-Reinet donated blankets, clothes, and other necessities to a family whose shack in the Vrygronde informal settlement burned down in June.
The group are eleven women who initially came together to support one another but later took on projects to make a difference in the community.
Councilors Ricardo Smith and Sakkie van Zyl, together with the Chairperson of the Ward Committee for Ward 6, Alice Mamfundisi, also donated to the Vrygronde family and more recently van Zyl delivered more food supplies.
