“Very Good”: Phara Refuses Food From Rude Gent, South Africa Applauds the Self-Respect

• A phara won the admiration from Mzansi when he denied food from a rude gent and mentioned that he had options
• The man rolled down his window and tried to force his meal on the homeless gent, who then pointed out he could get some himself
• South Africans respected the man for his self-respect and said that no one should accept disrespect

Generosity is best when it comes from a place of openness and care, and one man had none of these. A rude gent offered a phara some food to which he declined because he could get some himself.

No means no

Facebook user Sibusiso Thobela shared the clip of a man talking to the man the way he did and it was not well received by Mzansi's netizens. He thought he was trying to be helpful, but many people found him to be a bit aggressive and rude. Another person stated that even if someone wants to help out, you shouldn't do it with a camera in front of their face.

Head held high

It's not uncommon to drive through South Africa's streets and see many homeless people sprawled about. Life and its many ups and downs come at people differently, and depending on the character, can be overcome or not. Some people may have mixed with the wrong crowd and have fallen into ruin, while others may have been born into poverty.

Impoverished or not, the man held his head high and kept his self-respect. Most people think society should not look down on a person based on their socio-economic class and should focus on the character of the individual, and this phara has a strong character indeed.

Netizens across Mzansi applauded the man for his self-respect. Read the comments below:

Siphesihle Ayanda Ntuli said:

"The brother responded well, even if you help someone you don't know, you shouldn't shoot a video of them, who should see it? Who are you entertaining?"
