Qoki donates to Nyathi’s widow

- — JANE NKIWANE

A United Kingdom-based women’s organisati­on has extended a helping hand to Elvis Nyathi's widow, Nomsa Tshuma.

Qoki ZiNdlovuka­zi Community Organisati­on, founded in 2016 by UK-based Zimbabwean women from Matabelela­nd, donated US$1600 to the widow last week.

“Elvis Nyathi's widow has collected her donation from Qoki Clinic in Bulawayo," Qoki’s founding leader Sithule Nicole Tshuma announced on social media.

“She sent a voice note expressing gratitude, thank you very much ladies."

Nyathi was killed and set alight last month by a South African mob targeting foreign nationals in that country.

In 2017 Qoki was nominated for the UK National Diversity Awards in recognitio­n of charitable activities. With contributi­ons starting from 20 pounds, the women are now owners of properties and businesses in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
