DJ, artists help destitute family

DJ Tira and his Afrotainment artists have channelled their inner Santa this festive season to help a poor family in Tira’s hometown with groceries and new beds.

The DJ took to Instagram to explain that because Christmas was a time for giving‚ he had partnered with a foundation to help this particular family.

“Afrotainment and Fact Foundation always take time to help those in need.

“My mother helped me to identify a family in my hometown KwaHlabisa. This family lives in a shack with no beds.”

Tira said after buying groceries for the family that would see them through at least three months‚ the family begged for trunks to lock the food in because of the threat of rats.

“Together with artists from Afrotainment‚ Joocy Afro and DJ Touch of Soul‚ yesterday we left them with groceries to help them and three beds to sleep on. They begged us to help them with trunks.”

Tira said although they knew they had made a difference for the family‚ they planned to do more. He hoped the post would also inspire others to help.

“The bigger plan is to build a house for them. God willing it will be done within the next three months. My wish is to help more families in rural areas. I hope this post will inspire someone‚ especially our brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to be good examples in the society.”
