Durban woman helps homeless with clothes for job interviews

It is often said that charity begins at home, but one woman is taking being charitable to new heights.

Twenty-six-year-old Westville resident, Namhla Nxumalo has gone viral for her initiative which helps people who are looking for jobs.

Namhla has donated her own clothes and gives them to people who don’t have clothes to wear and are going for a job interview.

She will even deliver them to you if you live around Durban. 

With youth unemployment in South Africa at over 50%, Namhla says this was just her own little way of giving back and helping people secure their future.

She provides clothes ranging in sizes from 28 to 34 and currently is only able to provide for women, but she says she is hoping to start being able to help men as well through the initiative.

Namhla’s deed has also inspired other women in Johannesburg to start a similar project to help style interviewees.
