Zikalala was speaking at the disaster management centre on Wednesday where he, along with eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda and health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, received 10 mobile testing vehicles.

How is COVID-19 affecting Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

#Covid-19 & Sodwana Bay With the total shutdown of most industries in Sodwana Bay and a Nation wide #LOCK DOWN implemented – most of our locals are really taking a hard knock. Sodwana is situated in a rural area, so the poverty margins are unfortunately much higher. Its amazing to see how people rally together once forced to deal with matters concerning attention. I applaud those individuals who have taken it upon themselves to arrange for food deliveries and parcels to our local community. It is really making a difference in the lives of those who need it to most right now. Please keep up the good work and let us continue feeding the needy once this pandemic has passed over. Hopefully some of the restriction will be lifted soon… we will keep our ear to the ground and post important news as they develop. Stay HOME and be Safe!
