The DA in Limpopo has submitted a list of vulnerable households in the Makhado area to the MEC for Social Development, Florence Radzilani, for urgent social assistance.
DA MPL, Jacques Smalle, received a list of vulnerable families in need of social assistance in Makhado from community activists, and the list was provided to the MEC in order to ensure she explores available programmes that may assist these families such as food relief programmes among others.
All of these families are in dire need of social assistance and have not received any help from the provincial government to address their situation.
The intervention by the MEC and her department will go a long way in providing much-needed relief and improving the quality of life for these vulnerable community members.
The Social Development department has a responsibility to transform our society, especially the vulnerable members, through the department’s various social relief and poverty alleviation initiatives.
We will continue to monitor this situation to ensure that the department takes swift action to assist these vulnerable families.
