Help Zanele replace the fuel pump and return to work
Zanele drives for a living in Stellenbosch, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇿🇦 Western Cape, South Africa830 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $145
• Labor charges: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Update from Stellenbosch: we've started the first stage. We're at 65% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 37% funded and the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.
