On Saturday, the Irene Village Mall in Centurion, Gauteng shared an inspiring story that proved once again that South Africans can stand together in tough times.

A father, Joseph, arrived at the mall to buy baby clothes for his newborn child. However, because of the lockdown he could not buy clothes or a blanket and broke down in tears in Pick 'n Pay.

His cries for help did not fall on deaf ears and the staff at the PnP decided to bless him.

The post read:

"Not only did the team come together for some essentials but they all undertook to donate baby clothing to Joseph in his time of need from their own homes."

The post inspired South Africans who applauded the PnP workers for helping a father in need.

Tanya Marius Blignaut commented:

"So touching and congratulations Joseph and family on your little bundle of joy."

Mangi Sharon said:

"Well done team Pick 'n Pay Irene Mall. May God bless y'all."

Linah Mogotsi added:

"Ubuntu is what I see. God Bless Irene Mall and protect you from this virus so that you can help more people."

More and more people have been lending a helping hand to those who need it. Briefly.co.za earlier reported that a Good Samaritan paid a visit to an area frequented by some homeless people living under a bridge.

One homeless man ended up receiving around R1 000 from the generous man.
