Mabandla is one of the victims of the xenophobic attacks in South Africa and he was murdered in the early hours of Thursday morning last week.

His wife, Lydia however does not have anywhere to stay.

Said a relative:

“Ipwo patamusiya haana pekugara meaning we have just left her there but she is homeless,” a female relative told ZimEye via phone also saying there is no phone network coverage in the area.

Mabandla who was burnt to death, was buried in Chipinge. Fears for his wife’s security were high – as she does not have a place to stay.

In Johannesburg, her phone was stolen and she also lost her ewallet money with it. As per wide consensus (in a poll) donated funds by ZimEye news readers are now to secure a tenancy for her.

The funds will come from a pot of over R16,000 left from an initial collection of R25,000 the difference which was paid for securing the first bus to evacuate the first batch of Zimbabweans on Wednesday morning.
