Archbishop of Cape Town visits flooded areas

[Tulleken & Associates] Anglican Archbishop, Njongonkulu Ndungane, has added
his voice to the Western Cape Premier's call for the flood stricken region of
the South-western Cape to be declared a disaster area.

"Having visited the area this morning and paid a courtesy call to the
Anglican archdeacon, I am particularly concerned about the plight of the poor
and have asked HOPE AFRICA, our diocesan development organisation, to assess
the situation and to indicate a proper response by the church.

"My heart goes out to the people, who are in my prayers, and I agree with
Premier Martinus van Schalkwyk that government assistance is urgently
needed."
