KNYSNA NEWS & VIDEO: A shopping spree happened midday today, Monday, 16 April, when the mountains of clothes, donated from all over South Africa for the Knysna fire victims, were given away.
Doors were opened to the huge amount of clothes, which have been stored at Woodmill Walk in Knysna since last year, and the centre was packed with shoppers.
While Fire Disaster’s Jill Morse said the clothes needed to go as they were not in perfect condition, fire victims at the scene were very unhappy that these donations were, “simply going without anybody even needing to prove they were ever fire victims.”
People could be seen leaving with huge black bags of clothes and they were jostling to get in first and take as much as possible.
To see what happened, watch the video below of the unhappy scene that played out.
