Award Nominee Deli Malinga Requests Financial Aid

There’s good news and bad news: actress Deli Malinga has been nominated for a major award, but she cannot afford to travel to the awards ceremony.

Last month, the “Umkhokha: The Curse” star revealed that she had bagged a nomination in the “African Female Actor of the Year” category at this year’s Ladies of the Media Awards, which will be held in Kenya.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Malinga posted a video clip, in which she expressed her gratitude before issuing a plea for financial support so that she can attend the awards ceremony.

“They said all the logistics are on me,” the 59-year-old actress said. “Sadly, I don’t have money. I wish I could go there. I’m trying everything. I’ve sent so many emails to different people.

“I need to get a meal allowance, pay for my visa, flights, accommodation and pay for the tour guide that they chose for us.”

At the time of writing, she has not yet shared her banking details. However, judging by the recent outpouring of support from her fans, it is quite possible that she could obtain the aid she needs to make the journey to Kenya!
