Poor People in Johannesburg Receive Donations from Chinese Community
Poor people living in an informal settlement in Soweto, Johannesburg, received gifts on Wednesday from the Chinese community, the city's metropolitan council said.
Spokesman Keith Peacock said that the gifts were handed to the community living around the Zakheni Primary School by executive mayor Amos Masondo and the Chinese Consul-General Ye Minglang.
The gifts included 300 coats, 1,000 pairs of shoes, 1,000 school bags, 300 sweaters and 20 blankets.
They were donated by the South African Southwestern China Fellowship Association, the South African Traditional Chinese Medicine Association and the Joint Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs and Businessmen.
"The Chinese Consulate believes this type of activity will strengthen the goodwill that exists between the People's Republic of China and the communities of Johannesburg," Peacock said.
