It is always good to extend a helping hand to those who don't share the same level of privilege as others, as it makes a meaningful impact on their lives.

In a moment of compassion, people in KwaZulu-Natal showed an act of kindness towards a stranger in a grocery store.

The TikTok account @savesatiktok uploaded a video on the social media platform showing anonymous and generous individuals helping a man in Spar who only had enough money for two items.
