Earlier, it was reported that Treasure Thabede shared his story of starting his own restaurant selling food under the trees in his home town of Mkhondo in Mpumalanga. Seven years ago, Treasure started this endeavour.
In less than three months, Treasure will be relaunching his restaurant with a lounge. He says more than 30 unemployed people will now be employed by him. He named accountants, chefs and administrators as a few of those who will be employed.
Treasure's inspiring and powerful post got many people talking. He shared it to the #ImStaying group on Facebook.
In other news, a local woman recently headed to Facebook to share how helping people ended being a big blessing for her. Taking to Facebook's ImStaying, Ngonidzashe Chikwape Mudzamiri explained how she had made the decision to offer two elderly people a ride, one of whom was an old lady.
"I decided to stop. Put on my hazards, made a huge U-turn, it was pouring like nobody's business, cars were hooting, fast forward... Went outside took the lady's bag... Threw it in my car and I asked them to get into the car. The woman was like 'Haiii we are wet and muddy, we are going to make your car dirty', I said to them no worries."
Ngonidzashe then goes on to explain how the touched gogo was so taken aback by her kind-heartedness that she promised to pray that she may get a car as big as her heart. Which she soon did, much to her amazement.
