Tough situation

Rajah Brigmouhoun had to resort to living on the streets of Cape Town after losing his job due to a serious injury. But recently, his life took a turn for the better after Phakathi and K.O struck up a conversation with the homeless man. After chatting, they quickly realised that Rajah was in desperate need to return to his home city, Durban, but due to his dire circumstances, he wasn't able to.

BI Phakathi tips staff GHc2800 and pays for everyone’s meals at restaurant

In another BI Phakathi story, YEN.com.gh reported that South Africa's faceless philanthropist has done it again. He has blessed some hard-working staff at a Mugg & Bean restaurant. The Good Samaritan ordered a cappuccino to go and when the waitress brought it to him with the bill he asked her how many people were working.

BI asked her to come back when he called her. He proceeded to write R7 000 down as a tip for her and the other staff working. When she came back she was shocked at the amount, he then proceeded to tell her that he would pay for everyone's food who was eating at the restaurant at that time.
