“The money that is collected will go towards the teacher’s car repairs. If she has insurance, she can use the money to pay the excess fee. We know that there is nothing much we can do for her, but we just want to show her she has our support for everything she is going through," said Kwanele Khumalo, a member of the fundraising group.
