The youngster has received all that he asked for and said:

“I have no words, I don't even know what to say right now. Thank you so much, everyone. May God bless you. I've got everything I needed and I'll surely assist others too.”

The chap also lost his mom during his grad preparations and told Mzansi:

“I did come right, thank you so much. I just lost my mom this morning I don't even know what to do.”
