So, he decided to rally together a whole bunch of big corporates, including Kulula and has called on all firefighters in the country to head to Knysna to help. 

He has also single-handedly arranged deliveries of essential supplies like blankets, water, clothing and even dog food to the small Western Cape town. Diederick has taken to social media to call on the every single person in South Africa do something to help the people of Kynsna.
