It has been reported that more than half-a-million needy South Africans, many of them women and children could be plunged into further desperation as the country’s charities battle a funding crisis.
The industry says it experts that charity organisations, which represent 30-percent of social services in the country, would have three-billion-rands less to spend on crucial causes this year because of the recession.
Child Welfare South Africa says that it is in “crisis” and that therefore there would be a “catastrophic impact” if charities did not receive a bailout from the government
