According to Ngesi, the operation will also include community work by various stakeholders and trained youth, who will volunteer their skills to improve Mazibuko's living conditions.
"As part of the activities earmarked to honour and celebrate the life of Mazibuko, MEC Maine, together with the stakeholders, will paint, clean the house, put in tiles, erect a fence and further re-arrange electric wiring in the house," said Ngesi.
A hundred people, aged 70 years and above, have been invited to have lunch with Mazibuko at Brazil Stadium at noon.
