Sky, and Carmen checked in on their incredible Mandela Day mission — rebuilding Ms Shangase’s home in Inchanga! Her house was destroyed in the 2022 floods, and for over two years, help never came… until now.

Donations are open until 14 July — just hit the ‘Donation’ tab on ecr.co.za and be part of this life-changing rebuild.
