Imtiaz Sooliman – Be the change that makes SA better Gift of the Givers CEO,

A plea to citizens be the change that makes South Africa better.

Light your own candle and spread light to those in need. Top of the

agenda is a drive to eradicate poverty.

The current economic climate is pushing millions to live below the

bread line. Suleman says even the middle class is taking strain and

going hungry. We've been noticing that it's not and when we say

hunger, people think it's only among the poor. There's a large

number of middle class people who also, just for the sake of

dignity, don't speak out. But we know from homes that people are

very hungry, and when you get inside information realized that

for days they've been sitting quietly being hungry. So yes, it's

a growing problem. The gift of the givers played a pivotal role to

assist drought stricken areas in Nels, Manila Bay and Makanda with

water provision. The organization is now assisting in gauteng. We

are assisting. You know, we got called by two hospitals, Alan

Joseph and Ray Musa, we just drill a ball. We got 70,000 liters per

hour at ramamosa Hospital. Sulaman says the key to restoring humanity

again is by serving others. We want to change the system. We got

to change ourselves. Altruism, the commitment has to come from us. We

are the people that corrupt the system. We are the people that

steer. We are the builder. Could be greedy. So there's four

cardinal principles that all of us should imbibe, spirituality,

morality, values and ethics. You fix that in every in every

individual in South Africa, everybody will have a commitment.

I mean, several servants. You can't have a situation where

nurses are stopping patients from being seen by the doctor. That's

totally against human code, against medical code, and you

know, and the norms of living. Scbc news, i.
