The gift of giving | Carte Blanche | M-Net

In a nondescript warehouse in Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal, volunteers are hard at work, organising, packing and getting thousands of donations ready for shipment to countries in need of assistance. This is the machine behind the South African disaster relief organisation, Gift of the Givers - brainchild of the legendary Dr Imtiaz Sooliman. He’s built his foundation into the pride of a nation, assisting not only South Africans but the victims of natural and man-made disasters around the world. But who is the real Dr Sooliman? What has his experience as a “disaster tourist” taught him about humanity? And what lessons does he have for his own country, one flirting with calamity? A man of deep faith and limitless empathy, Dr Sooliman offers us a privileged glimpse of the man behind the public persona.

All foreign donations should be managed via this group and not the gluttonous government

He’s an absolute legend

[@fionavanderhaer4934]

They're an inspiration to us all and I take my hat off for them. Thank you Dr Sooliman & team for all the years of helping others 🙏🏽

[@funekanohiya2756]

I love him so much. Its an absolute pleasure seeing him around town in Pietermaritzburg being a local myself. He drove an old car for such a long time. And I would always think to myself a man of his stature should have the best of everything, but he is so selfless and giving. Thank you Sir

[@o.c2231]
