Briefly News earlier reported how Emily Hein-Visagie took the #ImStaying group on Facebook to share her inspiring story about how she was able to help an elderly couple.
She was behind the couple at the till and noticed that the cashier was ringing back some toiletries the couple could not afford.
Emily took the opportunity to do a good deed and paid for the items which included bath soap, toothpaste, lotion and roll on.
She asked the cashier to ring their items up with hers and handed them to the elderly couple who were very grateful.
They waited outside the store to introduce themselves and thanked Emily for her kindness.
