Dawid Gertze, Governor of ||Kharas Region says, "You have demonstrated ubuntu; we care, and a caring nation is a nation that moves forward, and a caring nation is a community that tells the nation that I feel together with you, I feel for you, and that there is hope for tomorrow as long as we stand alongside one another. What is the road ahead? I can't say we are going to give you all."

The Chairperson of the ||Kharas Regional Council , Gerrit Witbooi commended all the donors.

"This support brings relief, dignity and encouragement to families as they begin this difficult process of rebuilding their lives. To the affected families, we admired your strength and resilience, may this donations ease some of your needs and remind you that your community partners stand with you as you recover and move forward."
