Why Deli Malinga asked for donations
Deli Malinga's work in the local entertainment industry is recognised across Mzansi. However, after Umkhokha: The Curse ended, she hit a bit of a curveball and had to ask people for help. The star swallowed her pride and went on Facebook to make the plea.
“What an honor being nominated for African Female Actor of the year (not just South African but African. I just see God in all of this. To all of you out there who appreciated my work from day one and supported me throughout my acting journey. I am because of you. Thank you so much. I pray God keeps you guys for me,” she said.
"This is a big announcement. The sad part is that I will have to participate fully on my own. Wish I could get sponsors going to Kenya," she mentioned.
A handful of people offered their money to the actress. In the same breath, there were others who criticised her for asking for money.
She told the news publication that she rarely asks for money, but she had to in this instance:
"I am a hard worker, and I have always worked hard for myself. May God touch their souls and whatever they need, let it happen," she stated.
The star also spoke about a young woman she saw at an airport who remembered that she needed help. The young lady deposited some money to her account, and she is forever grateful.
