104 YEAR OLD GRANNY TO BENEFIT A NEW FROM THE LEGISLATURE

104 YEAR OLD GRANNY TO BENEFIT A NEW FROM THE LEGISLATURE

By BRIAN KAJENGO

A 104 year old granny from Elandshoek near Schagen will be the latest beneficiary of the brand new house through the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature petitions process. Granny Nostinah Khoza, who will be turning 104 in July, will receive her new house this coming Saturday.

Khoza has been staying alone in a dilapidated mud-house and has experienced several break-ins especially after pension pay-outs days. She was no longer enjoying her grant because it continuously stolen. This led Susan Mlotshwa, a constituency administrator in Elandshoek to send a petition to the legislature explaining the plight of gogo Khoza.

Upon receipt of her petition, the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature, partnered with the Department of Human Settlement, and the Department of Social Services, to build her a four roomed house. 

The Department of Social Services ensured that the house is fully furnished. Gogo Khoza’s life is now set to improve for better.
The official handover will be on Saturday 21 June 2014 at Elandshoek.

MEC’s from the two departments expected to be in attendance as well as the Speaker of the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature.

Anyone can petition the legislature on matters affecting service delivery.


The attendance of this event by media representatives for subsequent coverage will be highly appreciated.
