“What an Insult”: SA Outraged by Gardener’s Reward for Finding and Returning R2M Found in Bin

  • South Africans were outraged by the reward given to a man who found a bag with R2 million in a random waste bin
  • The chap made a noble decision of returning the money but received major backlash from Mzansi after the news went viral
  • A lot of social media users wished the chap took the money for himself than the move he made which he did not benefit much from 

Most of our decisions are based on our morals and values, whether good or bad, in the eyes of the third party.

South Africans wished Mr Mutarika had taken the money from himself and enjoyed it with his family. The noble man was rewarded with a R500 Shoprite voucher for his honesty and good deeds.

Mzansi thought the reward or loyalty token was an insult and that the gardener received way more than what he received.

@Fages commented:

“What an insult. R50k would have been more respectable.”

@Gadabeni Ndiyorabela Kefa sighed:

“He'll be rewarded appropriately by God of Heaven.”

@Waseema Loonat suggested:

“They could at least give him R10k minimum; he deserves at least R100k.”

@user4626117248116 pointed out:

“She's so excited because she's going to be R2 million more richer. Her expression says it all.”

@socky🥰 wished:

“May this kind of honesty never locate me.”
