In her capacity as MPL deployed in the Cradock constituency, Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform MEC Nomakhosazana Meth hands over food parcels, fresh vegetables, dignity packs and sanitizers to Hawkers in Cradock. With Hawkers being an integral part of the South Africa’s economy, offering easy access to a wide range of goods and services in public spaces, the impact of the COVID-19 on Hawkers and small businesses has been severely disrupted by COVID-19.
COVID-19 has affected Hawkers’ businesses, with some being unable to put food on the table. MEC Meth therefore felt it necessary to help this sector to continue putting food on the table for their families as the business have been disrupted by COVID-19.
