The Ekurhuleni Disaster and Emergency Management Services therefore request that donations of food made to provide relief to displaced foreign nationals be uncooked, non-perishable foods.
This follows reports of possible food poising at the Poppiespruit Park and Elsburg relief centres at the weekend.
“The City of Ekurhuleni is greatly appreciative of and welcomes the assistance of churches, non-profit organisations and community members. However, we would like to make the request that donations of food should not be cooked,” says Ekurhuleni acting spokesman, Lebogang Ramashala.
