Widow Ellen Ndlovu, who lives in in the mining town of Gwanda, south of Zimbabwe, collapsed of hunger last week after going two days without a decent meal.

Johannesburg - For 73-year-old widow Ellen Ndlovu, who lives in the mining town of Gwanda, south of Zimbabwe, lockdown has been nightmarish.

Gogo Ndlovu sells firewood for a living and because of lockdown, she has not been able to work since March. The provisions, which include mealie-meal, rice, cake flour, sugar, cooking oil, - beans and soap, will be distributed at the Covid-19 centres in Bulawayo and Harare on Wednesday. The rest of the food will be distributed in Gwanda, where the company’s CEO, Justice Maphosa, was born and raised.

“The church has tried where it could, but it’s a challenging time and it was proving to be difficult to extend help to the people here. So, the donation is quite timeous because many people were stranded,” he said.

Consumer Watch: FNB throws weight behind its payment holiday solutionconsumerwatch: One bank has come up with a unique solution for its clients, by offering a cost-effective cash flow relief plan, as a separate credit agreement, writes GeorginaCrouth. Day53ofLockdown coronavirus GeorginaCrouth We do understand the relief that FNBSA has implemented, however, the question is where will I personally find an additional R3 100,69 for the addition credit agreement? Rather extend my bond term by x months and keep my repayment obligations the same, not worse off. GeorginaCrouth FNBSA Rbjacobs It's simple: Keep you clients debt in the exact standing as before Covid 19. That's all. This kind of relief solution will definitely result in me being worse off than before Covid 19 as I have to service new debt, although it might be more cost effective.
