Good Samaritan Helps Eastern Cape Mom with Wheelchair for Her Son

By News 24 South Africa

For the past 23 years, Zoliswa Simbuku from Vezinyawo in Cofimvaba, has carried her son Masibulele on her back. If she couldn't carry him, she had to pay for special transport, to take him to hospital for instance.

Masibulele Simbuku cannot walk or talk, following an illness in childhood, GroundUp reports.

His mother is unemployed and could not afford a wheelchair. She has not had any contact with his father since 2001. The family rely on Masibulele's disability grant of R1 600 a month.

Now at last, he has a wheelchair, thanks to Makaya Kambi, founder and director of the Cofimvaba Advice Office.
