The campaign now has pledges totalling R487‚000 - far exceeding the original target of R100‚000.
Mbele‚ a petrol attendant in the Cape‚ paid R100 out of his own pocket after she stopped for fuel but could not pay because she had left her bank card at home.
He was worried that she would be stranded on a notorious stretch of highway if she ran out of fuel. He told her‚ on trust‚ that she could pay him back when she was able to. Van Deventer not only paid him back‚ she started the crowdfunding initiative on BackaBuddy‚ stating:"Thank you Nkosikho for giving me hope for SA. May Jesus bless you. Since Nkosikho saved my life I would love to do something in return for him."
"His two children‚ mom and brother live with him in Khayelitsha and he will really benefit from any donations.Shell chair Hloniphizwe Mtolo probably didn’t realise that his announcement of donating R500,000 to a charity of Mtolo’s hero petrol attendant Nkosikho Mbele’s choosing would raise fire. Well, it did and many South Africans aired their frustrations on June 4 2019."May your spirit multiply and overcome all prejudice.
