The houses were donated to two deserving families after one family had their previously-owned house burned down and the other family did not have a house at all.
“This gathering is a heartwarming occasion and we are happy to see that these families will now have proper roofs over their heads. As the municipality, we would like to pass our thanks to Standard Bank, who made this all possible by donating these houses to well-deserving families,” said Alfred Duma Municipality Speaker Themba Ngubane.
Both the Vilakazi and Mazibuko families were delighted to receive new houses and expressed words of gratitude.
“I would like to thank all stakeholders involved in the donation of the houses. Our special thanks goes to Standard Bank and Alfred Duma Municipality for making this possible and ensuring that we have a roof over our heads,” said a joyful Mrs Vilakazi.
