Small steps to success: South Africans work together to assist young graduate with bed and fridge

A young man who replied to the same tweet was featured by Briefly News recently. Twitter user @sibuyi_manqoba was battling to afford things that many take for granted these days.

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. One person offered up a bar fridge while another came through with an affordable bed.
