Ramotswa — South East South District Council has come up with interventions to speed up COVID-19 food relief distribution.

Senior assistant council secretary in the sub-district council, Mr Montshwari Gabonthone said there had been interventions to reach out to more beneficiaries.

Another intervention by the sub council, said Mr Gabonthone, was to engage councillors and village development committee members to help identify deserving households.

He said some people had relocated after being assessed by the sub council, adding that food distributors found empty houses.

Furthermore, he said the sub council also faced challenges of food supply that contributed to the slow dispatching of food parcels to beneficiaries.
