"It could have been me": BI Phakathi helps a homeless man with food and money
Still, with news on Phakathi, YEN.com.gh reported that BI Phakathi has done it again, the faceless philanthropist has posted an inspirational and emotional video on Facebook.
He captioned the video by saying that he was very emotional at watching and realised this could have easily been himself:
"Am so emotional I been watching this on repeat, I realised it could have been me or you living his life."
BI approached the man and asked if he needed anything and he asked for something to drink. The man was so desperate that he asked for sugar and he'd find water to mix with it.
