“We need school uniforms, blankets, beds, kitchen supplies, furniture and food.
“We have used zinc to cover our window frames as we no longer have windows.
“I can’t even think straight at the moment with all the stress I am under, as my children and I don’t know what to do,” said Lindiwe Sukazi.
On Monday, MMC Ndosi Shongwe visited the family with a donation of two blankets.
