“Mkhulu Thabethe had been staying in a dilapidated shack with no windows and doors for over 30 years. Mkhulu’s shack had no electricity, water and most importantly he did not have a toilet and therefore used the neighbouring tavern's toilet. Today we gifted him with a new home."

Son made mother proud

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that @Ofentse_RS took to social media to share the wonderful gift he bestowed upon his mother. To thank the lady who gave him life and helped him become the man he is today, Ofentse built a lovely home for her.

The hardworking man spoke to Mzansi through the comments section of his post to share his view and purpose behind such a tremendous act of kindness. He said it is his 'gift of gratitude'.

He shared:

"This is my gift of gratitude for the efforts my mom put in for helping me become the man I am today. I will not explain myself to people who aren't helping their parents with nothing. If your heart is painful that I did this for my Mom, then ask for help because I will do it again."
