Faried Alfos said:

"South Africa is not lost, many have lost faith in a government that has done nothing but undermine the voices of South Africans that has for years now called for drastic change, this is a positive response from businesses that still see the country as a place for hope and prosperity."

Andy Wixinger said:

"So the private sector comes to the rescue again despite all that has gone on under the current leadership of this country, it's very sad, but thankfully someone is putting in some effort to actually help serve and protect all the people of this country from complete downfall!"

"Hope they won't give them any money. Rather than complete the jobs themselves."
