A 72-year-old grandmother received a completely furnished two-bedroom residence from the Collen Mashawana Foundation after losing her previous dwelling to flames four years earlier. Rose Raisebe Aphane had survived under precarious circumstances in Mamelodi until Ward Councillor Collen Marishane alerted philanthropist Dr Collen Mashawana to her situation, prompting rapid construction that finished ahead of the holiday season.
The handover ceremony brought together officials from the Department of Human Settlements, Tshwane Deputy Mayor Eugene Modise, and South African Women in Construction representatives. Dr Mashawana established his nonprofit organization to assist elderly residents, child-led households, and disabled individuals through sustainable housing projects across the SADC region. His foundation recently completed similar initiatives for a 71-year-old man in Ramotse and the Ramarumo family in Makau.
