“These Videos Motivate Us To Help”: Man Gifts Struggling School Learner With Shoes, SA Moved

• A compassionate man visited a primary school to gift a younger boy, who had been attending classes in worn-out shoes, with a pair, urging others to support children in need
• The man shared his act on TikTok, showing the old shoes and the new ones while ensuring the learner's face was not visible as a sign of respect
• Social media user users flooded the comment section praising the man for his kindness and showering him with blessing

Many schoolchildren in Mzansi go to school with torn shoes, no shoes at all, or incomplete uniforms, which can make them face mockery from other learners or feel out of place. Some walk long distances barefoot, facing the heat, cold and rough roads, to get an education. While the government provides some support, ordinary South Africans can also make a difference by helping those in need whenever possible.

One local man under the TikTok handle @illapenboydaily shared a post of his kind act when he visited a learner who had been wearing toen shoes at school for months and gifted him with a brand new pair, warming the hearts of many social media users.

The boy receives a new pair of shoes

The clip shows the learner's shoes as he sits at a desk in his class. The torn old shoes looked as if they had been chewed by animals and seemed to have never been polished since the day they were bought. Careful not to reveal the little boy's face, the clip shifts to the man kneeling and gently helping him put on his brand-new school shoes.
