Suffer little children due to COVID-19

Suffer little children due to COVID-19:

AThe Covid19 lockdown in South Africa has reared the ugly head of the economic divide beast in the country. Those that have the means were able to panic-buy after the announcement of the lockdown by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Television news coverage showed people stockpiling basic necessities in anticipation of 21 days of social-distancing or physical-distancing during the lockdown. Most of the people that were able to panic-buy were white people and this revealed that white people of South Africa still control the economy of the country.

Madibaism has been inundated with calls from local community members who have hinted that they have no food and are facing starvation during the lockdown as well as lack of bathing necessities such as soap to bath and thus putting them at risk of contracting the Coronavirus. Other community members literaly cried which moved me into tears as well as they claimed that their children have not bathed or eaten since the lockdown because the parents, who are unemployed and depend on hustling and rustling for recyclabe materials, could not go out due to the lockdown.

We at Madibaisam are also unable to go out and fundraise on their behalf because of the lockdown that will end on the 16th of April. Also, the R3billion collectively donated by Patrice Motsepe, the Oppenheimers and Johan Rupert will never reach our coffers and the red-tape involved in accessing such funds means that we will never receive even a cent of such funds needed to help bath and feed the children in our community who are at risk of being infected with Coronavirus due to lack of hygiene necessities.

We are currently raising funds at https://bit.ly/2WXSVFw and we urge the world to treat this fundraiser as an emergency. We also urge the world to put aside their misgivings about fundraisers during the Covid19 because of fear of being scammed.

Madibaism is a registered not-for-profit entity. Help us bath and feed our community.

Madibaism depends on funding and our coffers are dry at present and thus we ask you to help us by donating at https://bit.ly/2WXSVFw .

No child should go hungry and we appeal to your conscience to think about the hungry children in our midst that will perish not only from Covid19 but starvation during and after the lockdown. Hunger will make our children and community members more susceptible to dying from Coronavirus than HIV.

Please donate at https://bit.ly/2WXSVFw .
