Imtiaz Sooliman – Gift of the Givers fights for Nelson Mandela Bay as day zero looms

I tell you, I Found him that Thursday morning, the 16th of

June. He was here by 12 o'clock. We got in contact with him two

o'clock he was on site, and immediately he said, This malava

Primary School is a priority. And I mean, it took him five days,

five days, which the government takes seven years to do. He did in

five days. And here we got a ball, I mean. And as I said, Now this I

mean, Doctor Suleiman's goal was to reach the people. And we have

our children coming from the townships. We have our extensions,

our informal settlements. So his goal was that each child takes a

five liter water home on a daily basis, and this is what we eat in

doing the children in my class, I've got a lower ability class, so

when there's no water, we actually have a problem, especially as Sir

mentioned, when it comes to the toilets, then they're unable to

flush, washing their hands, they're unable to do that, so we

have to now put little containers of water in each block so the

children can use that. But then again, in the classes, we also

talking to them about how important it is not to waste

water, and you know, the importance of water and how we

having these restrictions now, so We're trying to educate the

children about that as well.

We're so grateful that if the givers are coming and giving us

water,

there's no water at the moment.
