Humanitarian aid appeal for Alexandra victims - 15th May 2008
The South African Institute of Race Relations this afternoon urged South Africans to support the Department of Social Welfare and various aid organizations caring for victims of the Alexandra violence. The Institute made the call after visiting the violence ravaged township this morning and speaking to refugees as well as government and aid officials. The Institute said that it was shocked by the scale of the violence and the many families who had lost their homes and possessions. According to the Institute’s spokesperson on the Alexandra violence, Mapeete Mohale, aid workers were doing excellent work but needed support from South Africans.
