Man fulfils promise to late sister 

A South African man went viral after he proved his love and loyalty to his late sister. Samkelo Mtshazo and his deceased sibling promised each other that they would raise their children as one:

“We promised each other as siblings to stick together and raise our kids as one, no matter what comes our way. Happy birthday, boys.”

Mtshazo recently showed up for his sister’s twin boys' birthday and surprised them with a party at home. He bought two cakes for the five-year-old children.

The whole family was excited to celebrate the boys and made sure they enjoyed their special day after losing their mom in January. Mtshazo took the news of his sister’s death the hardest:

“I have never been out of words like this. How could you leave the twins? It's not fair for them. At least you are free from the pains you had, and whether we liked it or not, there was no scientific way to share your pains with us, but now  we are going through hard times.”

South Africans were deeply touched and showered Mtshazo with praises in the comments section of his Facebook post. His video reached over a million views after he posted it on 1 June.
