REMINDER: donations have been received but we haven't raised/donated enough yet:

Two families in our uMngeni community need your help. After the devastating wind storm, these families have been unable to afford to rebuild their homes. With another cold snap on the way, we urgently need to assist them to make the necessary repairs. Cllr Sandile Mnikathi commented
“The strong winds that hit our area last Tuesday have left two families in a desperate situation after their roofs were completely blown off. Many are still without proper shelter. As a municipality, we do not have a housing mandate and rely on the Department of Human Settlements for formal support. However, due to the urgency of the situation, we are appealing to anyone who may be in a position to assist. We are in need of corrugated iron, timber, nails, or any basic building materials to help affected families with repairs. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated”. If you have building materials you can donate or would like to directly donate to a family for them to purchase what they need to rebuild, please contact Cllr Sandile Mnikathi today on 0796159339

We need your help with any information to assist in finding Glen De Swardt, one of our independent living residents, who has gone missing.

He was last seen yesterday, Friday 28 March at 3pm at Sunnyside Village, in Boughton Pietermaritzburg. He is male, 67 years of age and was wearing a grey t-shirt with an Africa map logo, blue knee-length shorts, a black cap and navy takkies. He has a chronic psychiatric condition so he may not be able to think, feel or behave clearly, but there is no need to be fearful of him.

If you have any information that can assist or if you see him, please get in touch with Mountain Rise SAPS and CPF:
Sham: 067 280 5442
