For those who need clarification on NSFAS, it's financial aid for students from challenging financial backgrounds to access tertiary education. So yes, it's a big deal that she chose to rebuild her family home over her studies, which she is still pursuing.
Zoe goes on to say that in the future when she starts working, she wants to build her mum a double-storey house. We love a queen who has big dreams to help others, especially when it's the person who brought you into this world.

Businessman generously donates new home to family of 9: “Great work, God bless”
In keeping with the theme of giving back, Briefly News previously reported that a local businessman and his foundation generously donated a four-bedroom home to a child-headed household consisting of nine siblings who unfortunately lost their mom to cervical cancer a few years back.
They shared the good news online.
"Today @CollenMashFound successfully handed over a newly renovated and fully furnished 4 room house to the Mbatha child-headed family of 9. Their mother passed away in 2019 to cervical cancer, Mbali one of the siblings was also diagnosed with cervical cancer," they captioned the post in part.
Previously, the young kids were being looked after by their grandmother. But unfortunately, she succumbed to complications related to Covid-19 in 2020.
One caption reads:
"The siblings survive on government social grants and assistance from neighbours."
Thankfully, 2021 is a much better year for the kids, and they are ecstatic to have a place to call home. It's amazing what generosity can achieve and how many lives it can save. It is hoped that this home will provide them with a safe space to grow into self-sufficient young adults who live happy lives.
