A brighter future

Kameya Reddy, Shaun Francis, Herman Britz, Sarah Molefe and Nomfundo Dube share a prized moment together

The extreme hardships of a 13 year-old local disabled girl are finally being relieved. Several City donors have stepped up to the plate to help give Nomfundo Dube a better future. Business owner Shaun Francis and Herman Britz of the Umfolozi Casino Resort in Empangeni are two kind Samaritans who have offered to pay Nomfundo’s school and boarding fees for the rest of her schooling life, as well as everything else she requires to be a student like any other. In addition, donations currently being collected by the Zululand Observer’s Do I Care Enough? (DICE) organisation will be used for other personal necessities that the teen will need to lead a healthy life. She will also be going for a full assessment to Thuthukani Special School in September. This heartbreaking story of the young girl who has never lived the life of a normal child, has touched the hearts of many Zululanders and the plight to support Nomfundo continues with much added support from community members and business owners.
