Nedbank helps Diepsloot survivors




In Diepsloot, a quiet night turned into a busy noisy night as two shacks were reduced down to ashes. One of the shacks was completely burnt down to ashes and everything inside was gone within minutes. A family was left homeless and without anything to wear or to eat. We at the SA Red Cross Johannesburg decided to lend a helping hand. We managed to pass the groceries and clothing we had received from the Nedbank head office in Sandton to the local Red Cross Volunteers, for the survivors. It is efforts from staff members. Mr Zyhaan Valoo of Nedbank has been of great assistance to us and the community, his efforts won't be forgotten.
