African Transformation Movement celebrates women’s day in ward 21, in Nyandeni Local Municipality

In line with the commemoration of women’s day this year, the African Transformation Movement (ATM) visited ward 21 in Nyandeni Local Municipality on Tuesday to give hope to those who were affected by the recent floods.

The ATM in partnership with TACC church and Devine Communications handed over food parcels and, blankets to 119 families and sports equipment to 12 soccer teams and 3 netball teams in that ward.

One of the beneficiaries Nokubonga Tanzi, who received food parcels and blankets expressed joy and excitement. Destitute woman Nolusapho Vanda said she had sleepless nights not knowing what she and her family will eat but because of this program now she is happy.

Servant Mncedisi Zungula the ATM Head of Administration says they did not handout food parcels to the flood affected homes only but also included families who are less advantaged. Zungula says  they chose women’s day for this program because most families are headed by women.

Meanwhile, Ms Terry Fisher Mokoena for Devine communities says they partnered with the church and ATM to help and empower communities. Adding that this won’t be the last time.
