The two families, represented by Lameck Nxumalo and Lilian Zita, were identified by the Community Action Team (CAT) members working together with their newly-elected councillor, Donaldson Mabuto.
Nxumalo and Zita expressed their joy and gratitude for the financial assistance rendered to them.
“Thank you very much for helping us,” said Nxumalo, adding he never expected such a gesture would be extended to him.
“We encourage you to continue with the good work you are doing, extending it to other areas.”
Zita, who also could not contain her joy, thanked the trust for remembering her.
“Thank you so much ZDDT for the work you are doing in the community, helping us,” said Ward 9 councillor, Donaldson Mabuto.

Ward 9 CAT chairperson, Moses Dube also paid tribute to ZDDT and Chematek for choosing his ward to benefit from the scheme.
“ZDDT, we want to thank you for what you have just done in Ward 9 by considering that we have senior citizens who require help. With this gift, you have given to us, we say, ‘thank you’ as CAT members,” said Dube.
