In similar news about blessings, Briefly.co.za also reported that a young woman called Nurhaan Constance on Facebook recently shared the touching story of a petrol attendant who practically gifted her with R200 worth of petrol after he had overpoured.

In the Facebook post, Nurhaan explains that the two had been exchanging small-talk when the accident happened. As opposed to the R100 she asked for, Sam, the petrol attendant, poured R300. Unfortunately, Nurhaan only had an R100 in her purse.

Sam did not seem overly bothered by the fact that Nurhaan could not pay for the petrol, telling her that perhaps this was God's way of blessing her.
