– Pato Siblings: The first two houses, located in Malindza, Dvokodweni Inkhundla, were built for the Pato siblings, Joshua (63) and Elizabeth Pato (67), who received a two-room house with a bathroom. Their brother, David Pato (63), was allocated a one-room house with a bathroom. APM Dladla praised their dedication and emphasized the importance of perseverance and self-reliance in achieving positive outcomes.
