Woman gets better life for her children

In various posts on X, the Collen Mashawana Foundation shared photos of a mud house that Ms. Cynthia Nompumelelo Mkhonta used to live in. The lady is a mother of four who went blind in 2022 due to illness and relied on her children and older sister. The foundation announced that they gifted her a brand new home so that she could live safely with her children, and it was built within three weeks.
