South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu will travel to Mozambique and Zimbabwe on Thursday to hand over donations to victims of Cyclone Idai.
Sisulu will be accompanied by members of the business community led by Patrice Motsepe, founder and executive chairman of African Rainbow Minerals. In a statement the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco) said:
Minister Sisulu is expected to visit the city of Beira in Mozambique and the Chimanimani District in eastern Zimbabwe to hand over the donations made by South African citizens, companies and members of the Diplomatic Corps, who heeded the earlier call for assistance by the Minister. The donations include financial aid, clothes, water purifiers, non-perishable food items and blankets.
Sisulu is also expected to meet with rescue teams including the South African National Defence Force, South African NGOs, United Nations Agencies and volunteers.
