Makonde’s Good Samaritan

 

Meet Khathutshelo “Muvenda” Maswime of Makonde village, north of Thohoyandou – the generous man who does not mind donating cattle for free. A fortnight ago he gave a bull to the community of Makonde to be slaughtered during the installation of a traditional leader in the village.

Muvenda recently donated two bulls to two separate local families who could not raise money to buy meat for the funerals of their loved ones.

He owns a large heard of cattle, and said it makes him feel happy when he contributes to the development of the local community by contributing the little that he has. “My heart becomes fulfilled when I share the little that I have with my fellow community members. We were not all fortunate enough, but I thank God for blessing me with the stock that keeps on multiplying every year.”

According to him, commercial farmers sell these bulls for as much as R12 000. “I’m already reaping the fruits of my generosity as my herd keeps on multiplying despite the recent drought.”

Maswime urged other community members to assist the less fortunate with whatever they have. “God blesses us differently and the more you make a difference to someone’s life, the more you get your blessings from the Lord. It is my call to fellow brothers and sisters to play a meaningful role to develop the communities in which we live.”

Local traditional leader, Musanda Vho-Tshilidzi Ravhura, commended Maswime for his generosity and quest for community development. “He is one in a million and a beacon of hope in our community. I wish we had ten people of his kind in my village. We really appreciate having a Good Samaritan like him here at Makonde.”
