"Good did, but why take photos? Was this to boost his ego or genuinely help? Don’t like people who help others and then photograph them after that because even if they don’t like being photographed, they don’t have a choice. I said it. ‍♂️"

@MofokoaneNimrod said:

"Keep it up, officer Mkosi, we need people like you in our community. I did ask myself how many people who have money that saw this little girl and noticed nothing. God bless you, Ntate Mkosi"
