Meet Nkosikho Mbele - the hero petrol attendant
Petrol attendant Nkosikho Mbele has become a bit of a celebrity after he helped Monet van Deventer at Shell Ultra City, outside Cape Town, by reaching into his own pocket to buy fuel for her after she forgot her bank card.
"I checked her [petrol] gauge and I could see she was worried," Mbele tells TimesLIVE."I could see it was low."Mbele then used R100 of his own money to put petrol in her car."I was not even expecting her to come back," he says. On Monday, more than R400,000 had so far been raised for the young man from Khayelitsha.
