South African well-known philanthropist BI Phakati did it again. Phakathi gave a man who had faith R5 000.

In a video he posted on Facebook, Phakathi is on the street with bread and a piece of paper written "R 5000." However, he made sure the paper was hidden as he sold the bread to random people in the street for R10.

He encountered a guy who came from the shop to buy a few items and told him he was selling the bread for ten rands. The man said he unfortunately didn't have it. Phakathi lowered the price and said it was fine even if he gave him five rands. The man also didn't have that.

Phakathi gave the man R5 000. He was in disbelief and thought the philanthropist was pranking him. Phakathi said he was testing his faith. The man was thankful.
