He said as a homeless person, very few people come and support him. However, he said he had a Capitec account and some students would send him money.
With just R9 in his account, after he was handed the money he said he would immediately go and deposit the cash in his account. In addition, the bank said more than 4 000 Capitec employees had participated in some form of volunteerism over the past few months and have helped organisations like Salt and Light Foundation and the Butterfly Foundation in KwaZulu-Natal recover from the damage done by the unrest.
“That is why wherever you go you will hear people repeating the phrase ‘umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu’ . We felt like these good deeds would be a good way of expressing that – and we hope they inspire other South Africans to share their stories of ‘paying it forward’,” he said.
