Since the Cape Argus ran his story on Thursday last week, Tafelsig resident Achmat Ariefdien, 52, has been receiving offers of legal assistance and food parcels from well-wishers around Cape Town and as far afield as Gauteng.
”, was about Ariefdien having received a warrant of execution from the City threatening to take his house away from him for falling behind with his water account.
Doriane Alexander and Charlotte Makua, paralegal officers at the Athlone office of Legal Aid South Africa, are two of the people who have been in touch with Ariefdien to see what assistance can be provided from a legal standpoint.He said: “I would like to assist him in this matter as he is blind and I feel he is being unlawfully treated.
“Meanwhile, there was a lady doctor in Johannesburg who reached out to me after seeing the story and she has said she will do whatever she can to get donations from her friends. She will be in touch again when she has further news,” said Daniels. Ariefdien said he had received a couple of food parcels from a couple of donors who wished to remain anonymous and was very grateful for all the offers of help he was receiving.
