The City's Disaster Risk Management Centre has led calls for donations to augment humanitarian relief efforts.
Donations have been received from members of the public, the Shoprite Group and the Universal Church.
In one of the latest donations to assist residents of Dunoon, the Chinese Consul General handed over goods at the Milnerton Fire Station on Wednesday, 21 January 2026.
The donation included 500 blankets, 500 kettles, 100 mattresses, rice, noodles, water, cereal and tissue paper.
'We are incredibly grateful to all of the donors who have heeded the call to help those in need. Cape Town has experienced some devastating structural fires in recent months, and the goods received will go a long way to getting displaced residents back on their feet,' said the Chairperson of the City's Safety and Security Portfolio Committee, Councillor Mzwakhe Nqavashe.
