A South African family shattered by the sudden loss of their 29-year-old daughter, Primrose Vale, to malaria in Lagos, Nigeria, during the festive season, has found solace through the extraordinary generosity of billionaire Xolane Ndhlovu.
The talented makeup artist’s death left the Vale family in South Africa not only heartbroken but also facing the daunting financial burden of repatriating her remains, a cost exceeding R97,000.
In a remarkable act of compassion, Mr. Ndhlovu donated R100,000, a gesture that has profoundly impacted the Vale family, allowing them to bring their beloved daughter home for a proper burial.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, a family spokesperson acknowledged Mr. Ndhlovu’s incredible kindness as a beacon of hope in their darkest hour.
The community’s support further highlighted the often-unforeseen financial hardships associated with tragedy abroad.
Primrose’s untimely passing serves as a poignant reminder of life’s fragility and the continued threat of malaria.
Mr. Ndhlovu’s timely and significant contribution underscores the profound difference one act of empathy can make, offering the Vale family a measure of peace as they navigate their grief.
The South African billionaire, known for his humility and extensive philanthropic work had in 2024 gifted a house to Thandile Ramza, an unemployed single mother he met through Facebook.
Ramza, a young mother from East London, South Africa, initially reached out to the tech billionaire on Facebook, asking for food assistance. Ndhlovu responded not only by providing food but also helping her secure a job, a car, and eventually a brand-new house.
