An urgent appeal to Cape Town based retailers who can provide @yebofresh with crates, boxes & bags to help distribute grocery deliveries (essential goods) to township households. Yebo Fresh is doing a stellar job scaling up their logistics in very testing times, but need help.

When I was 8 learning to program alone in my room on my Commodore64, I dreamed of the day my friends would want to play the games I made. At the time, they just wanted to play Barbies. Around 1989 I dialed into a local BBS, & found lifelong friends. The Internet was our place.
