Khoza said the donation comes from her own pocket and another foundation she’s associated with in Johannesburg, where she’s based.
When she established this foundation in 2010, the objective was not only about food donations, but also educationally, too.
“I’ve got the welfare of my province at heart and this is what I imagine what my mother could have done as a politician. I’m doing all this from the heart. I’ll also be delivering 100 more food parcels in Nyongane, a community I grew up in.
I’m open anytime to give more, as long as there’s Covid-19 and beyond,” she said.
Her appeal to other individuals and companies, is to join hands with government in assisting the poor of the poorest.
“Donate the little that you have, it will make a difference in a person’s life,” Khoza stated.
