Collen explained that the mother and nine children lived in a broken-down mud house and were barely making ends meet. Relying on SASSA grants only, there was no way out for them.

Sharing pictures of the home they are building for the deserving family, Collen reminded people that this harsh reality is the life of some people and that we should be grateful for the things we have been blessed with.

In related news, Briefly News reported that BI Phakathi, South Africa's faceless philanthropist was doing what he usually does when he saw what he thought was a homeless man called Andre.

He wanted to help Andre but BI had his own script flipped on him when the man asked if he had eaten that day. Andre gave BI some money to buy himself some chips and rolls, something that BI usually does to strangers.

Andre told BI that he was actually quite wealthy and owned 14 houses and that although he looked like a homeless man he was rich.
