Auntie Muni's generosity comes to bear

A video posted online from a Joy News special on the late Auntie Muni showed her serving free food to neighbours, customers and loved ones on a memorable Eid holiday.

According to the business mogul, she made it a tradition not to sell her food on that particular day but rather give it all out for free.

She added that over the years, some customers found her gesture surprising and insisted on paying, but she would refuse.
