Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that BI Phakathi, South Africa's very own good Samaritan, is at it again helping those who are less fortunate. He uploaded a video to Facebook which starts with a mad chase after a torn R10 note. He ended up blessing the man with over R1 000 after learning what happened to him.
He returns it to a homeless man called Basil and asked him what he wanted to do with the money. Basil revealed that he wanted to buy a cup of coffee with it. Phakathi gave Basil R100 and asked told him to buy a coffee and bring back his change.
Basil returned with the coffee but said he had to use the last of his coins as they did not have change for a R100 note.
