The Mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille will this morning hand over laptop computers to bed-ridden and chronically ill children.
The computers which were donated by one of the world’s leading information service companies donated the computers to two charities in the Western Cape.
According to Fritz Marx an official in the office of the Mayor says the computers were donated by IT company Thomson Global Services.
“The computers are second hand and it is more expensive to recycle the computers in Switzerland according to the environmental than to ship the computers to South Africa.
The computers will be handed over to charities the St Joseph’s home for the chronically ill and to Astra School for the physically disabled.
