GOMA - South African companies on Friday restated their commitment to supporting the local soldiers deployed for peacekeeping in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo and other African states.
The Goodwill Parcel Project has a R3 million budget from 19 companies who are sponsors to supply some "festive season" cheer with gifts for South African soldiers who are servicing in peacekeeping missions in different African states. "A peaceful South Africa depends on its neighbours. Their family members must know that even if their husbads or spouses are over there, someone is looking after them and for the guys that are deployed to know they are not alone. We need as many corporates to join hands to support because a peaceful Africa is good for South Africa."
