"Hopefully, in the process, you teach the young man how to do it for himself, free groceries and clothes doesn't solve the problem... he must go to school and get entrepreneurial mentors..."
@RetiredDjKastro said:
"I once tagged you on some issues affecting children, which could be the cause of where this child finds himself, and you ignored me nicely. Your generosity is not in good faith. You’re behaving like any other politician."
@MonyakeSamuel said:
"Stop using this kid for relevance, they're thousands out there, just pick one and do something silently."
@Nhlamulo_Mlabya said:
"It's not just this kid but millions of SAns in the same situation as him."
@Azania109 said:
"Don't look far... Around the suburb you live in there is a small informal settlement... There are plenty like him... If you really mean it and not doing it for the media and fame."
