On Tuesday, Gauteng Survivors opened up about the kindness of a man who they identified as Gavin Khalima Khungwayo.

Last week, social media was flooded with posts about kids who were going back to school. One little girl in particular stood out for Khungwayo.

The unidentified pupil was dressed in a uniform that was too big for her and according to Gauteng Survivors, the little girl was teased because of it.

Khungwayo tracked down the learner and travelled to her home town to buy her a new uniform.
