Stop the eviction: 3 months of rent for Zinhle's family in Johannesburg

After a car accident, Zinhle is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.

Following a long illness in the family, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Monday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $950. My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave. I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else. I have started working two part-time jobs, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here. The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done. Where the $950 goes: • Rent arrears (3 months): $580 • Late fees and court costs: $70 • Utilities in arrears: $55 • First month of rent as a buffer: $245 Every share and every dollar helps.
