Friendly visitor needed for an 88-year-old neighbor in Ekurhuleni

Ahmed lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Ekurhuleni
I'm writing for my neighbor Ahmed, who's 88. Ahmed lives alone in Ekurhuleni, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Ahmed loves knitting, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. Thank you so much.
