UPDATE: ECR's WhatsApp-a-thon for Tongaat's Recovery was a success

In times of adversity, our province has shown its resilience and community spirit. 

Last week, parts of KZN were devastated by a tornado, leaving many families and communities in need of urgent assistance. Our province rallied together to support those affected. East Coast Breakfast launched a WhatsApp-a-thon to facilitate and encourage donations at Vishwaroop Temple.

Homes have been damaged, essential supplies have been lost, and many residents are struggling to cope with the aftermath. These residents need everything. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant impact.

Here's a snippet of the severe effects from the tornado as shared by one East Coaster:
