Speaking during the presentation, Chief Executive Officer for TNM Werner Schrijver said that TNM’s promise‚‘Always with you‘ is not an empty one because TNM is also there to assist in difficult times like these.

On receiving the donation, N’goma thanked TNM for the relief items and commended the company for providing them with airtime and handsets, hinting that communication is vital in disaster management.
