In another similar story, Briefly News reported on an old man named Mkhulu Joseph who is living in a dilapidated shack with no windows, electricity, water and without a toilet. But thankfully, businessman and dedicated philanthropist, Collen Mashawana is helping Mkhulu build a new home.

Collen announced this in a Twitter post and received major support from his followers. He is demolishing Mkhulu's old home and plans to move the old man into a temporary home while his new one is under construction.

You best believe Twitter erupted with support. Here are some of the most heart-warming comments:

@MathebulaMbuso:

"Mr Collen Mashawana, you are great inspiration. Thank you for your contribution, help and faithfulness. We aspire to excel in business so we can help families whom are unable to help themselves like you do. GOD SPEED, SIR."

@Sylvester_Mathe:

"Imagine if that R500 billion was given to you Sir Collen? We would see no shacks and mud house in our rural and Alexander, your generosity is unmatched, prayer for more life and success to you is what we need to share to you. I salute you sir, corrupt ANC councillor never saw mkhulu."
