Relief efforts to affected Langa residents who lost their homes over the Easter weekend continue.

Chief Innovation Officer at SA Harvest Ali Con says it plans on dropping off supplies in the form food hampers, cooking equipment and clothing.

Over the Easter weekend, a blaze ripped through the Joe Slovo informal settlement destroying hundreds of homes.

Con explains that an estimated 12.3 million tonnes of food go to waste annually, and instead of throwing away perfectly good food; it gets rescued and distributed to those in need.
