“So last night on my way back from celebrating my 50th birthday at Spier I stopped at Engen garage, Zevenwacht. My mom had my birthday cake on her lap so the petrol attendant by the name of Life, asked if it was a birthday cake. I replied that it’s my 50th birthday cake. He didn’t believe me, said it could not be true. After convincing him that I’m really 50 he said to me, “wait don’t go yet”, ran off and came back with a R50 note, a birthday gift for me.

What a selfless deed. Someone, not thinking twice to share his little with someone else. Life is an angel. I pray that God will always bless him abundantly and that he will be blessed with a long, happy and prosperous life.

This is Life, the petrol attendant at Engen Zevenwacht

Sincerity without a doubt”
