BI Phakathi pay for everyones' meals at a restaurant
Previously, Briefly News reported that BI Phakathi, South Africa's faceless philanthropist has done it again. He has blessed some hard-working staff at a Mugg & Bean restaurant. The Good Samaritan ordered a cappuccino to go and when the waitress brought it to him with the bill he asked her how many people were working.
BI asked her to come back when he called her. He proceeded to write R7 000 down as a tip for her and the other staff working. When she came back she was shocked at the amount, he then proceeded to tell her that he would pay for everyone's food who was eating at the restaurant at that time.
The manager came over and BI told him to let the people eating know that they don't need to worry about the bill because it has been taken care of.
