Haji Cassim, a resident of Port St Johns, is pleading with anyone who can assist to come forward and lend a hand.

“The situation is very bad in Port St Johns as of now. A lot of people have lost their things, their properties. Honestly speaking we are asking those people who can put in a hand to try and help us here in Port St John. We are facing this each and every time and we don’t have anywhere to go just because it’s God’s creation.” he adds.
