R300K raised so far for petrol attendant who touched SA's hearts
Cape Town – The crowdfunding campaign for petrol attendant Nkosikho Mbele, whose act of kindness warmed hearts across South Africa and the world, has raised more than R300 000 within two days. Mbele, 28, from Makhaza in Khayelitsha, had paid R100 out of his own pocket to fuel 21-year-old motorist Monet van Deventer’s car after she had forgotten her bank card at home last week. He did not take down her details.
Following Mbele’s act of kindness, Van Deventer posted to social media and created a crowdfunding campaign. “Initially, the target was R100 000, it’s so amazing how much has been raised so far,” Van Deventer said. “What I like about him is even after I brought back the R100 and I asked him why he helped me, he just said ‘Ma’am I am believer’.”
