Business owner steps in to help Zihanku
A business owner decided to host a fundraiser for a child who fell into scalding hot water.
Vale’s Fruit and Veg Hyper hosted a fundraiser to help Zihanku van Aarde’s parents afford his medical bill.
After little Zihanku fell into a bath of scalding hot water, his mother Mirinda needed finances to pay for his medical care. Vale’s Fruit and Veg Hyper saw the urgency and decided to sell hamburgers and doughnuts on July 9 to help Mirinda pay for Zihanku’s expenses.

According to employee Charlene Kriel, the owner of the business Frank Do Tanque hosted the fundraiser.
“I have a four-year-old son and I know that if that had to happen to him, I would have wanted the same. I would have wanted the community to help as well,” Charlene said.
Charlene also urged other businesses and residents to contribute to Zihanku’s cause.
Furthermore, Charlene thanked the community for contributing to the cause. On this day, the business raised about R2 800 for Zihanku’s expenses.
