Former professional boxer turned community advocate Dave Letele says his South Auckland foodbank won’t last until Christmas after a large freezer storing tonnes of meat was deliberately turned off and a forklift smashed.
Letele took to social media on Tuesday afternoon, breaking the news, saying; “Thanks to whoever turned off the freezer off at Papsda church. Now the frozen kai we had left is all off. We can’t win man. I’m out. I can’t take this. Over and over and over.”
“How do you continue, you know? You do all this stuff and you just get knocked down again and again and again. I just can’t believe it,” he said in an accompanying video.
