The young man asked the granny if she was going to do more shopping. She helped her with all the products she needed and continued to walk with her to the pay point. Athi then walked the elderly lady to the car.
“His mum was in the background all the time. Bongani, his mum, can really be proud of her son Athe. Not only is he being has, but she encouraged him to become a gentleman, but Grey College can be equally proud of how Athe is becoming a model learner and representative for his school.”
