Generous Sunday Morning Post readers have pledged to donate about 50 computers and other hardware to needy children in a remote South African town.
Staff at Star Computer City have been flooded with calls from people willing to hand over their old machines in the week since the Post published their appeal for equipment to be sent to Isandlwana, the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the 19th-century Zulu wars.
'The response has been amazing,' shop managing director Michael Gazeley said.
'Normally we're fairly quiet during the week and things get hectic at weekends, but people have just been turning up with little trolleys and saying, 'Here you go'.
'They're braving the rain to bring them in, and some people are donating stuff that, frankly, is almost new. Some of the machines are really fantastic and they would have cost a fortune.
'It's been very heartening. Normally people think of Hong Kong as not being that charitable, but I've been very impressed.'
