Rospa Trading donated three four-roomed houses to families who did not have roofs over their heads in Tshimbupfe and Davhana villages on Thursday (22 November).

During a well-attended occasion, the keys of three houses were handed over to beneficiaries by the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, and the donor and managing director of Rospa Trading, Mr Mbangiseni Mutavhatsindi.

Cllr Mutavhatsindi expressed appreciation for the philanthropic work done by the donor in building the three houses for the indigent families. “Instead of phoning me and asking for illegal tenders, Mr Mutavhatsindi always asks me to assist him in finding ways where he can plough back to the community,” said the mayor. “Then we identified three families who literally had no shelter and the project of building houses for them began.”

Mr Mbangiseni Mutavhatsindi told the people that he had decided to give a gift of houses to the poorest of the poor in the Makhado Municipality because he was born in this area. “I am not giving them houses because I've got lot of money and I am flaunting it,” he said. “I always feel touched to help where help is needed.”

One of the beneficiaries is Ms Lizzy Baloyi (34), whose five-year-old son died of retinoblastoma cancer in August this year. Cllr Mutavhatsindi had attended the funeral and promised to build the family a house and help the family with households needs, such as food. “I thank God for bringing good people like Mr Mbangiseni Mutavhatsindi to give us houses,” said a touched Baloyi.

The other beneficiaries are Muofhe Mulaudzi and Petrus Munyai. Mulaudzi stays with her three grandchildren who are the direct beneficiaries, in a sense, in Davhana village. Speaking on behalf of Mulaudzi, Mashudu Mulaudzi said: “Mr Mutavhatsindi showed us that true love and caring still exist in this world."
