By Kamini PadayacheeThe Hillcrest community has rallied around Molweni residents after a devastating storm on Friday left people in the area homeless and destitute.The social welfare department said at the weekend that eight people had been killed, and 50 injured during the storm. South African Community Action Network operations manager Verdan Menne said that about 1 200 Molweni residents had been left homeless as many houses in the area had collapsed or been badly damaged by the storm."The response from neighbouring communities was phenomenal. We have people who have volunteered to cook food, others have brought in blankets and clothing. We are actually battling to cope with the large volumes of donated supplies that we have received."Menne said that the organisation's main focus was to help Molweni residents find temporary accommodation. "We need building material like metal sheeting for roofs, and heavy duty plastic sheeting as some homes are still standing but their roofs have been blown off. We also need tarpaulins and tents."He said that the homeless had been taken in by fellow locals, or were staying in marquees and community halls. "A number of homeless people are staying with people who offered their assistance after the storm. Twenty people were taken in by one family."There have also been marquees erected and some are staying in community halls," he said. Menne said church groups and a non-governmental organisation, Khulani Simunye, had started a food distribution programme. "Right now the needy are being served one meal a day, but this will increase to two meals. But we need food supplies to keep this going," he said.The provincial government said it would pay for the funerals of those killed in the storm, and would build new houses in the area.Speaking during a visit to the locality on Saturday, KwaZulu-Natal premier S'bu Ndebele said the province would rebuild the houses before Christmas. Individuals or organisations wishing to make donations for the funerals and to rebuild the homes may telephone S'bu Hadebe, of the premier's office, at 082 805 5840.Those wishing to donate food, blankets and building supplies can contact the Community Action Network at 0861 623 646 or 083 799 1916 or e-mail mail@cicfamily.co.za.
