Relief for Msibe family as wall is fixed
Msibe family sleep better knowing that their house won't fall
Kwa-Thema – The Msibe family has been living in constant fear for months since the top part of one of the walls in their kitchen collapsed last October.
Emily Msibe (66) and her husband Freddy (73) have been living in the house for more than 40 years.
Their fear is now a thing of the past after the ANC in Ward 78 and councillor Petunia Zanele Nyakale joined forces in commemoration of Mandela Day to rebuild the wall.

The reconstruction work took three days to complete.
According to Nyakale, these houses are some of the first to be built before the development of RDP houses in the area.
“The completion took a bit long because of the extensive damage with the structure.
“Nonetheless, I am happy the family received the help they so needed.
“I had sleepless nights for months knowing they were not safe living in the house, it posed a great danger,” said Nyakale.
