Patron of the Jacob Zuma Foundation and SA President, Jacob Zuma, returned to the Ngidi homstead on Saturday where he handed over a house to 110 year old Thulina Ngidi. The Foundation was approached by a member of the uMlalazi Municipality who asked if they could help the Ngidi family, who live in the Mvutshini area between eShowe and Gingindlovu. President Zuma attended the sod turning celebration in April and was happy to return to hand over the completed house. Ngidi celebrated her 110th birthday on 28 March and is now the owner of her first house.
