THE Northern Cape Chinese community in partnership with the Northern Cape Community Policing Board distributed food parcels and blankets to hundreds of Phillipstown community members on February 18.
Captain Olebogeng Tawana said the beneficiaries included elderly persons and those living with disabilities.
“The most senior person to receive a food parcel and blanket was a 86-year-old granny. The Northern Cape SAPS band kept the audience entertained with lively music.
“Chinese community leader Mr Lu indicated that they would reach out to communities throughout the Northern Cape Province, in the John Taolo Gaetsewe, Frances Baard, Namakwa, ZF Mgcawu and Pixley Ka Seme districts.”
The Northern Cape Provincial Community Policing Board chairperson Ephraim Homan encouraged business communities to also plough back into their neighbourhoods and join community policing structures to fight crime.
