Gcina appreciates the public’s support after being homeless
Gcina Mkhize express gratitude for the help received from South Africans after losing her house.
The South African actress requested for help after her house was sold at an auction, as she was unable to keep up with payments.
People rallied round her to give their support, and she’s garnered over R20,000 in donations.
“I would like to thank each and every person who has made a donation to our BackaBuddy campaign. I would also like to thank those who have made a deposit into my personal account. All the money is making a huge difference in our lives. My children and I are eternally grateful. We are deeply humbled by your kindness,” she said.
“Eugene Mthethwa came and intervened. Another person from the ANC also offered to help with the investigations. Colleagues in the industry have reached out, others have donated money. Asavela Mngqithi, who I worked with in Isibaya, was also one of the first people to reach out when the story went viral and made a donation of R2,000.”
“Other industry friends have reached out, such as Celeste Ntuli, Nomzamo Mbatha, Puleng Ndlovu, Retha M, Angie Sekgobane, Khanyi Tshabalala, Nomonde Mbusi, Muzi Mthabela, Khanyo Maphumulo, and Bongani Gumede. There are a lot of them, and I might have missed some. They have been very supportive.”
“There have been other people offering help, but it’s hard to recall all of them. I’ve been talking to a lot of people, and it’s hard to remember everyone. My neighbours and people I grew up with in Protea Glen, also, bringing the little they can.”
Gcina said she will still fight for the house.
