Disabled woman gets a new lease on life

The grateful recipient, Thobekile Maria Dlamini, a 57-year-old woman residing in KwaNgcolosi, relies on a wheelchair for mobility due to her disability after she had her leg amputated in 2015.

"For many years, Ma Dlamini has endured inhumane living conditions, which worsened after her leg was amputated. Her previous dwelling, constructed from mud with numerous holes, allowed water to seep in whenever it rained," Mashawana shared in a Facebook post.
