Joburg comes together for Lethabo

A light-hearted conversation on the 947 Drive about the things we still wonder why our parents allowed us to do quickly turns into something far more emotional. A listener, Lethabo, shares the heartbreaking story of how his mother is severely injured while trying to rescue his younger sister, and has now been in hospital for three months. The 23-year-old explains that with no stable income coming in, he and his 16-year-old sister are now facing possible eviction because they can no longer afford rent. But in true Joburg spirit, the listeners of 947 immediately rally behind the family, pledging money and support to help keep them afloat during an incredibly difficult time.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
