Local hero BI Phakathi blessed a family in abundance when he saw a little boy selling what was described as spinach.

Sharing a video on his TikTok account (@biphakathi1), BI, who never reveals his identity, sat in a car when a child named Sifiso approached him, selling a bunch of leafy green vegetables for R10.

Sifiso, who shared that he was in Grade 5, told the man that he was selling the veggies for his grandmother, who he called over when BI gave him a R200 to pay for the bunch. The boy and his gogo told the philanthropist they did not have change to give him.

After receiving the leafy greens, the Good Samaritan said the entrepreneurs could keep the change, but that was not all the money they received. He then gave Sifiso and his grandmother R100 and R200 notes each, which left them grateful.

"God bless you. Thank you, my child," said the grandmother when BI handed her the cash.
