“My eyes became blurry and I felt like I couldn't breathe, almost felt like there was an elephant on my chest,” she said.

Nthabiseng’s immediate response was to hit the brakes and switch the hazards on and almost had a motorist ram into her from behind.

“Everything went blank, I 'came back to life' as that guy was banging on my window asking me to open it. Two more men came as well and asked me if I'm okay and if they should call an ambulance. By this time I was able to breathe normally, and I had taken off my jacket and jersey because I was sweating a river!!!”

The fortunate lady said she was amazed by how the men handled the situation by calming her down as well as alerting other motorists to overtake her vehicle.

Good Samaritan pays R1 000 to cover stranger’s groceries

In another story, Briefly News reported that the generosity of South Africans came to the fore once again through a story shared by Kutty Chabangu on Facebook. She says her sister went shopping but had some trouble with her bank cards.

She says the issues started when her sister reached the till point and was ready to pay for her groceries. When she tried to make phone calls to rectify the problem, a Good Samaritan offered to pay the bill. To her sister’s amazement, she even told the generous man that this was not just R100, yet the guy insisted on paying.

Chabangu wrote on Facebook: “My sister asked me to post on her behalf. Today around 2pm after work she went to do groceries at Pick n Pay River Crescent in Witbank. When she arrived at the till, both her cards gave her a problem. When she was about to make a call about the cards, the cashier alerted her to someone talking behind her."
