This is our South Africa!!! A woman shared a story about how a gentleman helped her when she was stuck on the side of the road, and social media couldn’t be more inspired.
Sanah Mabelane Mkhonto shared a story on her social media after Rian assisted her while she was stuck on the side of the road. The story is reminding all South Africans that not everything in our beautiful country is negative.
“This morning I had a problem with my tyre and this guy here stopped when other drivers were passing me and asked me if he could help… his name is Rian.
In the middle of the unrest he still decided to stop and he said “I just thought if this was my wife I would want someone to help her”
Not everything is negative in South Africa! See a human and not the colour.”
And users on social media couldn’t agree more. The post garnished thousands of shares, and even more inspired comments:
Lucinda Lucas posted: “Love love love this!!! This is the SA I want to live in and be proud of!”
Robyn Francis said: “In-order for our nation to heal , we need the media to publish more positive stories like this. Media has so much power over where the issue of race is going in this country.”
Eugene Nok’thula Son Kwanele commented: “That’s what we need irrespective of colour of the skin humanity should be a habit and lifestyle at all costs.”
Shalen Sajiawan added: “Well done Riaan my man, I always lend a hand when possible reason being we all have family or friends on the road somewhere sometime, and it’s great to know someone will help. It’s how we should behave as responsible drivers. Safe driving everyone.”
