Aid for flood victims gather dust

    JOHANNESBURG

    More than 100 mt of food intended for flood victims in Mozambique is gathering dust in South Africa, because there is no money to transport it to Mozambique, 'The Sunday Times' reported.

    The report said that clothing worth an estimated US $290,000 was also being stored at two hangers at an airport in the eastern town of Nelspruit, near the border with Mozambique. It said that the aid had come from the South African public, South African companies and international donors.
