SERVING THE CHURCH AS SHE STANDS AGAINST XENOPHOBIA IN CAPE TOWN

 
Since Thursday of last week, Cape Town has been experiencing large movements of foreign nationals in response to xenophobic violence and threats. Monday morning's edition of the Cape Times estimated that, throughout the city, upwards of 20,000 people have been displaced.
 
In its response to such injustice, The Warehouse is working quickly alongside numerous churches, NGOs, and the city's Disaster Management Department to help distribute both human and material resources to those who are accomodating these displaced persons. It should be noted that among this task force are township churches, many of whom lie at the epicenter of the past week's events.
 
Since Friday night, we have received and sent out more than 25 carloads of blankets, toiletries, canned and disposable foods, nappies, and clothing to housing facilities across the metropolitan area, such as Zolani, Nyanga, Chrysalis, and Youngsfield.
 
The Warehouse is committed to a sustained response to this atrocity, and will be open for donations around the clock.
