NON-GOVERNMENT organisations (NGOs) say the clothing they received through the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Social Development and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) will make a huge difference to the people and communities they serve.

However, they have been warned not to sell the clothes.

Yesterday, KZN Social Development MEC, Mbali Shinga, inspected the clothing donations which included t-shirts, shirts, pants, jeans, underwear and other items. The inspection was conducted at a centre managed by the department in the Bluff, Durban South.

Shinga warned NGOs receiving clothing to not sell it.

“SARS has emphasised, and we are emphasising, that we will be disappointed if they sell this material. We don’t want that.
