Through Crime Check Foundation, Zenabu's son has received the required amount to undergo the surgery.
The charity disclosed this in a Facebook post, saying: ''This is how pure water seller Zenabu responded after we surprised her with the much needed nine thousand dollars urgently needed to help her six-year-old son Masawudu to undergo a hole in heart surgery.
''Her husband has labelled her a "bad luck" woman for bringing forth a son with a hole in his heart. Many many thanks to Mr Ali Ibrahim for contributing seven thousand dollars into our Health Check Fund and to our other donors who contributed to the fund to support little Masawudu. May the Almighty God richly bless our donors,'' the foundation posted.

Though Ativor considers herself a woman, football stakeholders do not think so.
