A comfortable bed to climb into after a hard day's work or even a fridge to store your favourite drinks in are just a few things that many people take for granted. Twitter user @sibuyi_manqoba was battling to afford these.
That was until Azola Mlota connected him with kind-hearted South Africans who did not hesitate to stretch out a helping hand.
Sibuyi responded to a Tweet by Azola with a photo of his living situation. Saffas came through for young Sibuyi in the replies section as they offered up goods they no longer needed.
