BI Phakathi spread the joy of Christmas when he came across a struggling South African man and his daughter who were seated on a pavement. A tasty burger and a drink to wash it down laid the foundation for the life-changing encounter between Phakathi and the father-daughter-duo.
Once Phakathi gave the father and his child their burger and drinks, the dad opened up about how difficult it has been to find work. The man explained that he has been unemployed for the last three months and is a qualified diesel and petrol mechanic.
