A weekly visit for Unathi, 73, who lives alone in Durban

Looking for a friendly person in Durban to visit Unathi once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Unathi, who's 73. Unathi lives alone in Durban, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Unathi loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I hope life is good to you.
