SABC1’s local docu-reality television series Khumbul’ekhaya continues to track the
journeys of real South Africans who ask for help in their search to heal their
relationships with lost or estranged family members.
The Khumbul’ekhaya team, together with the Mayor of Ethekwini Municipality and Mr
Ishwar Ramlutchman unveiled a brand new house for Ntombikhona Zondi and her three
siblings who featured on Khumbul’ekhaya.
The event took place on Thursday 1 September at 9am in Greytown, Entembisweni.
Ntombikhona and her siblings wrote in to the show requesting to be reunited with
their fathers’ family, whom they have never met before. Their father passed on in 1999
and their mother in 2003. Ntombikhona has been the bread winner of her family ever
since, and they have been moving from one extended family member to another
without a place to call home.
“After their story was broadcast on Khumbul’ekhaya, we received a very moving
response from one of our viewers, Ishwar Ramlutchman, who was greatly touched by
their plight and wanted to reach out and extend a helping hand to them. He has in the
meantime built a beautiful house for them in Greytown,’ said a statement from SABC1.
The story of Ntombikhona and her siblings will be featured in the episode of
Khumbul’ekhaya on Wednesday 21 September at 9pm.
