"So inspiring, Thando. I don't know you that well, but I have been a recipient of your kindness sometime ago. It was late in the evening, and we had just landed at King Shaka Airport. I was travelling with 3 children, the youngest was 2 months, and you helped carry him while I grabbed my luggage. Forever grateful."
