Kind fuel attendant rewarded with 8 years worth of his salary
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a filling station worker who paid for a woman's fuel had been rewarded with 8 years worth of his salary.
Nkosikho Mbele who happened to be the attendant on duty had first begun wiping the lady's car screen before rendering the service she requested.
It was when Mbele wanted to fill her car that Monet discovered she had forgotten her card at home.
The 28-year-old petrol attendant then stepped in with a solution. He offered to pay for her fuel with his card with the promise that Monet would return it when next she stopped by. He then went on to fill her car after paying R100 (₦ 2,750.98) with his card.
