By Kudakwashe Pembere

ELDERLY residents at Gwanda Old People’s Home received a surprise treat from Matebeleland South legislator Honorable Sipho Ndlovu-Mokone who donated food items at the place on Saturday.

Included were 100KGs of Mealie Meal, a large pocket of potatoes and 2 Litres of Cooking Oil.

She noted how the destitute aged are bearing the brunt of the economic meltdown in the nation.

“With the daily hardships of the economy hitting any average citizen, the aging and underprivileged get it the hardway,” said Hon. Ndlovu-Mokone. “It is important that we parliamentarians chosen to represent the needs of our constituents, we do whatever we can to alleviate their plight. The elderly should not be left behind.”

The MP pledged to do more as she gears herself in philanthropy.
“I would also want to urge corporates and individuals to remember our elderly and recognise that we have them among use. Whatever we can spare, let us donate to these Old People’s Home,” said MP Mokone.

Gwanda Old People’s Home matron Mrs Manda thanked the Mat South MP for her timely donation.

“I would like to give my heartfelt gratitude to MP Mokone for her donation which comes right at the nick of time. We had no idea she was going to be here and to be honest it is not everyday we see such high profile figures going out of their way to donate.

We thank her,”Mrs Manda who noted how instrumental the Mat South parliamentarian has been vocal on issues affecting the Mat South region, Gwanda in particular, from matters of water supply to infrastructure and general welfare.
