Ward 16, 21 teams celebrate Mandela Day with acts of kindness
In a heartfelt act of compassion as part of Mandela Day celebrations, the Ward 16 Task Team dedicated their time to cleaning the home of the Nene family in the Shayamoya area of Ntabamhlophe. This act of kindness went beyond cleaning, as the team also handed over a food parcel to the struggling family, generously donated by the Al-Imdaad Foundation. The mother, who is unemployed and raising a three-year-old child, is not receiving any social grant. The family survives with the help of supportive neighbours.

The team did some cleaning up and provided much-needed support in the form of groceries, a sponge mattress, and a blanket.
