Man buys school uniforms for kids on his birthday

The gent named Greg Nyongane has started a citywide school uniform drive in honour of his birthday as a way to give back to society.

While speaking to SABC News, Greg said he would donate 300 school uniforms for this year.

“I took a conscious thing that I will never again celebrate my birthday but make a difference in the lives of children in the schools, especially grade two’s and three’s as well. The only thing I tell them is that do what I have done to you to the society and that’s how I we believe we can make a difference in society because you don’t see poverty but can see what is happening and that is the reason why I am doing this today. I am not doing it with anybody’s funds but I take 40 percent from my personal bonus and I set a target for the year.”
