Previously, Briefly.co.za reported that Mzansi had rallied together to help Mpho. Mpho Moteka suffered a great set-back after he lost R50 000 worth of broilers (a chicken breed) to heavy rainfall. The young farmer felt extremely demotivated after losing such a large number of his stock.
He shared a post on Twitter of his loss with the caption reading 'I quit'. Mpho's defeat didn't go unnoticed as SAns decided to come together to help him. #SaveMphosBusiness was created where parody account Jan Van Potgieter asked peeps to help Mpho out.
He shared an image of Mpho's banking details alongside the post about Mpho giving up. Jan Van Potgieter asked tweeps for donations of at least R10 to help save Mpho's business.
