Sashnee Govender shared her amazing story on Facebook in the #ImStaying about how a complete stranger trusted her enough to loan her money.
She was at the Engen Quikshop in Stanger Manor and had tried to use her card to pay for her items but her transaction was declined but her banking app showed that the transfer had gone through.
She did not have any cash on her and had no idea how she was going to pay for her items. It was then that the cashier, Sphamandla Salim, came to the rescue.

He offered to pay for her goods which came up to around R20. She couldn't believe it.
He replied, "I trust you will pay me".
She returned the following day, Friday 15 January and in the spirit of ubuntu, she repaid Sphamandla's kindness.
Instead of repaying the R20, she gave him ten times the amount giving him R200.
