Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>WALVIS Bay community members donated food, clothing and bedding to a family at Tsintsabis outside Tsumeb in the Oshikoto region on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The family of six lost their belongings in a fire in October last year, and has since been living in a structure made out of sticks.<\/p>\n

Walvis Bay local authority councillor Ryan Gordon said he was at Tsumeb last week, and heard about the family through friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really a sad story. I decided to tell people at Walvis Bay about this family, and within three days we received so many items. I decided to go back to Tsumeb. I was surprised that some even paid for our transportation. That is how I know my community at Walvis Bay. I really applaud them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rudolf Keiseb on Saturday said he and his family were watching soccer in the area on 2 October, when people alerted him that his corrugated iron shack was on fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ran to the house and could already see the fire had spread. We have a water pump in the area, but it is really difficult to get water out of it. There is another one that is a bit far.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people tried to get water from there, but it was too late. We lost all our belongings and national documents. I also lost my marriage certificate. My wife is especially sad about her sewing machine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Keiseb said he was surprised to receive the donation as he was not aware people knew about his situation.<\/p>\n

He said regional and local authority councillors visited him after the incident and promised to help, but never returned.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been almost six months, but I remained hopeful that God would make a way for me. I really thank the people of Walvis Bay for their open hearts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Some items were also distributed among 40 other families in the area.<\/p>\n
