This is such a sad story that has become all to familiar. I hear similar stories of horror from @papilloncharity and @lizelle. To love a country so much and to witness it being torn to shreds by the greed of others must become extremely depressing for good folk like yourself. What must be even darker is the thought that things are so bad that there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel.
Constantly looking over your shoulder and living in fear changes people in a way where they circle the wagons and take care of their own.
From what I've read and seen on #hive about South Africa, it's a natural paradise, but one that can no longer be appreciated by the majority of it's citizens.
With so many leaving for self preservation, you wonder if peace will ever be established again.
My heart breaks for all of those caught up in the chaos.
I could never imagine having to leave my home and all that I have come to love about this area due to the lawlessness of some ruthless and greedy bastards.
I've taken a look at the KZN flood disaster relief program you mention and came up with this site. Is this the correct program?
If this is correct please let me know as I would like do what I can to assist with a donation.
God Bless and stay safe my friend!
Emotionally drained, also trying to get both my sons out. Predominantly white youth are not being employed, reverse apartheid at it's worse, unless you have friends able to assist. Our Indian youth also making the move, as are many young black educated Africans who no longer wish to be part of this mayhem.
The only disaster relief fund to support is via https://giftofthegivers.org/ most South African's would advise.
or: https://giftofthegivers.org/online-payment/
The link you found is not one I am familiar with, most will advocate for the link I have given as looting through government is rife, many climb on gravy train with disasters.
Thanks for kind words during trying times, a beautiful country I call home even when ones soul is crying for peace and stability!
I wish you and all of your loved ones a safe journey as you make your way out of an untenable situation.
Thank you very much for the correct information. The very last thing that I would want to do would to see a gift end up in the wrong hands.
Keep your head down and stay safe my friend!
Slowly starting to get water, electricity has been a problem over here for the last 14 years, mending people not sure if possible.
Learn from previous blatant theft many no longer trust government and yes the link I have shared is the only place I support and have done over the years. For wildlife I support another trusted organization where government no longer supports them at all!
We assist where able, stay off the roads allowing services access to repair, thanks once again for thoughts and kind words.
So many people feel as you do, as it gets harder everyday to trust government officials that are supposed to serve the people. The reality of the situation is that most of them just care about lining their pockets.
It's good to see that some of the services are up and running.
Slowly but surely water is starting to get through to outer regions.
Ugly problems raising it's head in many regions of the world.
Always hopeful of a better tomorrow for the sake of all.
