"It was my decision to destroy the current shack that has no door & windows and erect a temporary structure that can at the very least ensure his safety whilst construction of a new house is underway.

"Our aim is to have the construction done within six weeks when Mkhulu can finally own a home and his current circumstances will only be a distant memory. We look forward to ensuring this does indeed become a reality for Mkhulu.”
