Gent uses R1.3 million RAF money to improve his community

A 42-year-old man, Mlungisi Maseko from Mooiplaas village in the Chief Albert Luthuli local municipality, received a beefy cash out from RAF. Instead of chowing his earnings on luxurious items, Maseko noticed the lack of service delivery in his area and budgeted to improve the situation.

Over a hundred households had been suffering for 15 years from a lack of water in their community. People had to travel five kilometres to get clean, drinkable water.

Maseko who got into a car accident in 2018, used up R1.3 million from his RAF payout to install pipes, water tanks and other essentials to end the suffering. The community sees the selfless gent as a hero for his good deed and highlighted the municipality’s failure to bring them the service for years.

The chap who survives from farming also gave some of his land to his community to make a living for themselves. Maseko’s generosity has earned him a lot of respect from his people.

@Kennedy Banani said:

“He used the money he got from his pain. He had an accident and he claimed RAF. He took the money and helped his community. Ramaphosa must visit this man and negotiate a proper position in his Cabinet, or he must get employment from the Department of Water and Sanitation. How many millionaires do we have in this country but they only care about themselves and their families? Well done guy. God bless you forever.”

“This man must be a minister or a chancellor we need such people in our government.”

@Mbuso Mdletshe decided:

“Make that man president as he used his own money to help the community. Image if he gets in president he can change the whole nation.”

“Ramaphosa Himself Must visit this guy.”

@Meluleki Dube said:

“The kind of people we need most in Africa more than influencers.”

@Sañele Chiya explained:

“I just don't know how to thank you my brother because we have many millionaires in our society but they only want to show off with their money.  You think better than the president to help your fellow Africans, thank you, brother. One day you’ll have your blessing.”
