If anybody has ANYTHING available. Please message me asap. The phone numbers circulating on Facebook are not valid either. May the Almighty help us all.”

We are willing to purchase it from you, I can’t believe its been made so hard to actually feed your children. Please guys. Thank you very much.”We got caught up in the rush, say looters as vandalism and unrest continue in KZN, Gauteng
