BRITS POS – KLIPVOORSTAD - Cross-organisational collaboration was undertaken to ensure that stranded community members of Klipvoorstad and Assen, affected by recent floods were provided with food parcels on Saturday, 22 February.
“South African Police Service (SAPS) members, the Department of Social Development and the Provincial / District Disaster Management Centre, along with air assistance of SSG Security embarked on a food and parcel drive to the communities of Assen and Klipvoorstad, following the heavy rainfalls that left the people trapped in their areas, with no entry or exit points due to flooding,” advised Constable Ben Moabe, SAPS spokesperson.
