ZATwo elderly brothers, one wheelchair-bound and reliant on a pension, were rescued from a remote shack in Malengezi, near Durban, after being subjected to severe neglect and financial exploitation. An anonymous tip-off prompted intervention by activists from The Elders Voice KZN, who discovered that their caregiver had stolen the wheelchair-bound brother’s bank card and identity documents, used his name to take out loans, and withheld essential medications for months. Both brothers suffered from serious health conditions but lacked proper care. With the help of local investigators and volunteers, the group managed to extract the brothers from the difficult terrain surrounding the shack, promising to assist them in recovering their financial affairs and accessing necessary medical treatment.
