Mere moments after the Kolisi Foundation turned to social media urging the nation to step in and assist expectant mothers at the Dora Nginza Hospital, they were flooded with positive responses.
Among those who took up the call was the Shoprite Group, who on Wednesday donated 300 care packages containing essentials such as nappies, wet wipes, barrier cream, toothpaste and toothbrushes, among other items.
The severity of the situation at Dora Nginza came to light during an impromptu oversight visit by ANC MPL and deputy chair of chairs, Tony Duba, to the maternity ward after reports and pictures in The Herald’s sister newspaper, Weekend Post, showing women in the ward sleeping in the corridors.
