“Look, there’s no one above the law, and we support the state as the ANC, but when donations come to our people who are hungry now, we don’t ask where it comes from, but give to the people who need it the most.'
“I personally decided to give food to people who needed it in all the community of Nkomazi municipality and the Ehlanzeni region from my pocket. While buying and planning such, food from Major 1 [Bushiri] came with trucks and we supplemented the supply. We know Bushiri church is being attended by everyone regardless of politics and also the ANC is being voted by everyone even those who doesn’t have membership of the ANC, in fact the ANC government leads everyone.
Ngwenya said: “When delivering the food, I had only eight people accompanying me, not a large number. There’s a family were we found that there are 15 members in that home and we can’t chase them away. We donated the food and left,” said Ngwenya. “As the department, we don’t have control over people who donates food on themselves. We only look on our records and handover food to the needy families as the department and people who are willing to give to meet us halfway, we don’t stop them; we appreciate that,” said Ngobe.
