“I’m a waitress at Café Mia in Helderberg centre Somerset Mall. And there is a lot of awesome people as our customers. This weekend there were two elder women. And opposite their table was another family. That family called me to ask me to put that table order on their bill.
“And not only them but we have a lot of people coming there and do the good deed. Today and normally I did tell them personally thank you. They really appreciate it.

“Very lovely gesture....but..... don't you think people eat out because they can afford it. I'd then rather give to those who are in real need, or give the waiter or waitress a very generous gratuity, as opposed to just giving for the sake of giving.”

I'm staying: Mzansi thanks ‘Jabulani’ for helping stranded woman

Checking out a previous report, Briefly News reported that a local woman has taken to social media to thank the kind stranger who stopped to lend a hand when the car she was driving broke down along a busy freeway.

Amy Grobler had been travelling alone with her three-year-old son when she felt her tyre start wobbling. The young mother pulled over to the safety lane and soon watched as a cloud of smoke surrounded her vehicle.

With no cars in sight and alone with a toddler, a nervous Amy decided she'd call a friend for help. However, a stranger came to her aid instead.
