“Never Xem”: Woman Gets Written Letter From Neighbour That Changes Her Mind About Answering Door

• A woman shared the handwritten letter she received from her neighbour after avoiding people calling at her gate
• The thoughtful letter contained Bible verses about living in difficult times and an invitation to discuss God's kingdom
• South Africans were moved by the neighbour's caring gesture, with many saying such genuine concern from strangers is rare in today's world

A woman has learned an important lesson about not judging people's intentions after receiving a surprising letter from her neighbour that completely changed her perspective. The post was shared on 7 September 2025 with the caption:

"😩😩😩Yoh, and I heard them calling at the gate, but I decided not to go out 😹😹😹… Never ngeke xem."

Content creator @mmina_noko, who shares personal content about her daily life and family activities, posted two images that told a touching story. The first showed an envelope addressed "Dear Neighbour," which she initially thought was a wedding invitation. However, the second image revealed a handwritten letter that was far more meaningful than any party invite.

She even included her email address and mentioned that discussions could be arranged in the reader's preferred language.
