Two weeks ago, a destructive storm ravaged Mahale village in Selwane, Phalaborwa, leaving 54-year-old Maria Nyathi and her family without a home or food. Despite the tragedy, Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality officials have neglected to visit and assess the damage, instead assisting others affected by the storm.
Maria’s situation is particularly heartbreaking because she is a single mother of four who is living with her high school-aged daughter in squalid conditions. There is noo access to basic necessities like food and shelter.
Demonstrating remarkable resilience, Maria used debris from her destroyed house to build a makeshift shack for her family. Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality remains unresponsive to Maria’s pleas.
Maria needs your support. She is currently in need of food donations, shelter materials like roofing, building supplies and clothing. Your assistance can help Maria and her family recover from this devastating tragedy.
