“We sympathise with the people of KZN during this trying time. The IDC is deeply concerned about the well-being and safety of fellow South Africans, families and businesses affected by the floods. We are confident that our partnership with Ashraful Aid and their well-established track record will make an impactful difference within the KZN community, as it did during last year’s unfortunate unrest in the province,” says Tshepo Ramodibe, IDC Head of Corporate Affairs.
