Unwanted household goods get a new lease

Unwanted or obsolete household goods in storage in other people's garages or rooms are getting a “second chance in life” after Sue Vorster from Wetton opened up her home to help needy non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the Southern Suburbs.

She is well-known for her soup kitchens in Ottery and Wetton and has expanded the initiative to Hanover Park and Kampies informal settlement in Philippi.

“The struggle is real out there, and before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020-'21 I fed 87 families. I then registered my NPO Caring Unicorns in 2020 and besides giving a meal I also handed food parcels out. During the pandemic nobody could move around and soup kitchens could not operate. After the pandemic the numbers increased and I am now feeding approximately 600 people in the different areas.”
