Diliberto says the line of cans was assembled in less than two hours, with attendees displaying positive energy and gees.

The cans will now be distributed weekly to more than 250 soup kitchens across Cape Town until they have been depleted.

You can still support Ladles of Love by donating to the organisation here.

It was unbelievable! I don't know what words to use. That line of cans was down before two hours was up.

The gees was unbelievable right throughout the Waterfront in each zone that we had split the route, there was just so much gees.
