Miracles

Servolution worked in the KwaZulu-Natal, helping families through the protests and collecting 24 tons of food within 24 hours, turning madness into miracles.

 

Durban, South Africa (20 July 2021) – The past week has been an emotional roller coaster ride for all South Africans. Rochelle Maynard from Servolution says her team felt angry and fearful on Monday, but by Friday, they all experienced the true spirit of Ubuntu.

“In this historical week in South Africa, our fellow citizens proved once more why our country is the place where miracles happen. When a few misfits tried to destabilise the country and exploited those trapped in poverty, thousands of South Africans, across all races and classes, decided to protect, rebuild and replant.

Shortly after the president condemned the looting and vandalism last Sunday night (whilst people broke into a branch of the South African National Blood Service for whatever reason), South Africans started to stand together like never before; Simunye – we are one.”

By the following day, after demolition and damage of more than R100 billion caused, citizens, pulled up their sleeves and went to the affected areas with brooms and refuse bags, ready to clean up the mess. Taxi drivers were some of the first to stand their guard and protect infrastructure.

Organisations like Dare to Love took it upon themselves to alleviate the need that the destruction caused and collected 24 tons of food within 24 hours. They lined up transport to deliver it to the people of KwaZulu-Natal, who lost their nearby shops as they were vandalised and set alight.

Thanks to SERVOLUTION, an affiliated movement of Dare to Love comprised of solution-driven people, 60 000 seedlings are on their way to help the communities affected and resetting things back to normal.

Servolution’s website was also launched the past week, aiming to unify all willing countrymen and women who want to better the country and serve others by various means through, e.g., encouraging front line workers and bringing hope to covid- struck patients, honouring and uniting with taxi associations, helping rebuild communities, teaching and imparting skills, raising up entrepreneurs and so much more. Servolution proves that South Africans are caring and willing to serve one another in building a united society.

There are 19 ways to get involved with the organisation. If you would like to get involved and turn strangers into neighbours, visit www.servolution.co.za
