Phakathi was so inspired by the man’s dedication and optimism, that he gave him several R100 notes and shared their interaction via Facebook.
The man’s surprise and joy was clear for all to see as he continuously thanked Phakathi.
Incredibly, he still checked with Phakathi if it would be acceptable for him to donate R100 to his church instead of retaining all of the money.
