Hearty donation helps feed 500 families
The CEO of Fashion Fusion, Zakaria Mahomed Norath, and his family, made the donation to ensure the families had enough for for two weeks.
A GENEROUS donation from a local family ensured that 500 families from Motala Heights, Mariannridge and Nagina received much-needed food hampers.
Through the generosity of the CEO of Fashion Fusion, Zakaria Mahomed Norath, and his family, food parcels were put together for families who were unable to provide for themselves due to the nationwide lockdown.
DA PR Ward 13 and 15 councillor and chair of the West Durban constituency, Marlaine Nair, expressed gratitude to Zakaria Mahomed on behalf of the residents who received hampers.

“Thanks to Fashion Fusion, these families will have some food to see them through for at least the next two weeks. There is such a great need out there as many are without food because they relied on piece jobs to sustain themselves and not permanent jobs,” said Nair.
Nair urged other businesses, who are able to help, to please contact her.
“It has been really heartwarming to see organisations and individuals that have been doing their part. We are a very resilient, generous and caring nation that has always been able to survive trying times. I am confident that by following all of the government’s rules and regulations, and generous donations to those in need, we will survive this,” said Nair.
