Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has paid forward an act of service to a Zimbabwean-born wrestler, Themba Gorimbo, who now owns an all-expenses paid house on a Miami river house.
The Rock surprises homeless Zimbabwean wrestler with a house
The Hollywood A-Lister posted an overwhelmingly emotional video on Twitter, surprising Gorimbo in a Miami gym where he sleeps on a couch with his family.
He left Zimbabwe in 2021 after he lost a fight and was determined to be an international champion by relocating.
As luck would have it, he got more than a gym accommodation. He was gifted with an entire house.
Selfless Zimbabwean wrestler builds borehole for his community
Themba got spotted by The Rock after he built a borehole for his community and was left with around $7 (R130.80) in his account. He then posted his balance on Twitter.
Upon receiving the surprise, he told Johnson:
"Because you got me this house, the money I was saving [to get my family a place] I'm going to build another borehole in my village when I land in Africa."
