ICYMI: Following Gift of the Givers' incredible work during the Covid19 pandemic, as well as during the riots, thousands of South Africans have urged Dr Imtiaz Sooliman to consider running for president.
Johannesburg - Dr Imtiaz Sooliman is a hard man to get hold of. The founder of Gift of the Givers has been busy.
“It means there is something wrong with the way the country is being run. People are not satisfied, and to me, it should be a wake-up call to government. I am not interested. I have a spiritual responsibility, a spiritual calling.”“I’m sure government can sit together and fix what needs to be fixed. It can be done. We have the intellect, the wisdom, and we have specialists.
“But again, I said no. I have a spiritual responsibility, and I've taken a spiritual instruction from my teacher to serve people. “At the initial stage we started rolling out loaves of bread and milk, and items that many households needed. Then, we responded to hospitals to provide food parcels to look after a family of five for a month.
“We started providing food in bulk to hospitals, and then the rollout commenced to areas affected by the looting. At the same time, we were also responding to hunger caused by the Covid 19 lockdown, unemployment, or any other cause. And in that way, the area that we needed to reach was far bigger than originally envisaged.”The team also assisted in Pietermaritzburg, where residents were also greatly affected by the looting and riots.
“Today, one of our staff is going to visit an institution for the physically and mentally challenged. The place was vandalised and destroyed during the looting, and the children don't have anywhere to go.“We have offered to help rebuild that facility and upgrade it for them and make it functional. We are also going to look at upgrading infrastructure like clinics, hospitals, schools and small businesses.
