The appeal letter from different organisations and people close to the incident reads:

Parkrand Primary lost one of its own in the devastating gas tanker explosion on the 24th of December. Coach Ndumi Mashaba and his wife (Neo) tragically passed away leaving behind a little boy of 3 years and a baby girl of 6 months.

The SMT and SGB of the school have visited the family of Coach Ndumi and they have provided support with funds towards Essentials but if anyone could assist or has contacts in the glass and Building department they could seriously use some help. Most of the windows were blown out and ceilings were also damaged.
The family is in need of the following items, if you are able to donate please do:

• Blankets
• Formula – Lactogen #2
• Children clothes:
• Boy size 3 – 4yrs
• Girl size 6 – 12 months
• Nappies sizes 3 and 4
• Food (maize, meat, cakes, etc)

The daily drop-off point will be Parkrand Primary School daily from 10h00 to 11h30 and the team will take it through to the family.
