Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has dug deep to make a welcome donation of personal protective clothing to the Eastern Cape Health Department.
Spokesperson, Sizwe Kupelo, said the World Cup-winning captain has donated 1000 face masks, 2000 litres of sanitiser, 500 facial visors and hand sanitiser to non-clinical staff at Port Elizabeth's Livingstone Hospital.
He said Kolisi's donation is yet another indication that if "we work together as government, sportsmen and women, religious leaders, businesses, traditional leaders, civil society, NPOs and NGOs, and communities, we will win the fight against the coronavirus."
But, in welcoming the donation, Kupelo said it was important to note that the Department does have enough surgical masks, gloves, aprons and protective goggles for their personnel.
He also said that the best way for citizens to ensure that the virus does not spread any further is for them to stay at home, practise good personal hygiene and keep a two-metre physical distance.
