This story brought tears 😭 to my eyes but the kindness and care of this young man Gabriel brought even more tears with the kindness that he displayed.... bless his pure heart 💜
Even at that u stiil fear to die, i made it to europe in a similar way believe me i only wanted to make death was never an option i wanted even thou i know the chances of dieing was high
LADS, GABRIEL, OR THEMBA - if you guys see this, reply here - My pops worked as an Advocate in the UK to help people in low income situations, especially disabled people, get enough money to feed and house themselves. Gabriel - youre doing amazing stuff but it doesnt only have to be on you my guy - the govt can help
You're an ignorant fool. It doesn't matter how gabriel is now, or what he went through. What he did was selfish and dangerous. Could have made the entire plane unable to land due to landing gear malfunction.
@@googleuser9383 you, your mom, your aunty sister and brothers are ignorant fools. Infact, your whole bloodline is! All we are doing is congratulating his kind heart and here you come! ❤
As for the vaccine, don’t risk it. Every vaccine you had in the past has been tested appropriately and perfected so that it wouldn’t have any adverse effects. mRNA vaccines are experimental. Many animals died in the trials for it. Not to mention there is no long term data on these newly released vaccines so there is no telling what could happen to you. You’re okay, you will live without this.
They just wanted a better life. But it is a pity some do not know the horror stories about when they get to these places that are called developed countries.
Gabriel... it's the name of an angel. His mother knew something when she gave him the name. She just didn't know who was the person in his destiny he was supposed to help as an angel. And as almost always, that person was far away in Africa...
This story really hit. What courage Themba must have. And to go through all that, losing your only friend in a new country, wake up paralyzed and still looking forward. He is a true inspiration. And then this guy Gabriel shows up... what a guy! What an absolute gem! All my best wishes to both of them.
The fact he survived that whole journey hanging on the plane proves that it wasn’t his time to go, and that he has something significant to offer this world. Gabriel is amazing young man, doing everything off of his own back to help someone in need of it. What. A. Story!
Yeah because when little kids none of us have heard of die from juvenile cancers, which are the result of totally random cellular replication errors, high energy radiation damaging their DNA, etc., - that means they had nothing significant to offer this world, and it was just "their time to go." I also guess this guy's friend had nothing significant to offer this world, so that's why he died, too.
@@wienix11 Well, I disagree obviously, but you're free to actually say why you think it's one, rather than just saying that, which changes no one's mind. I dislike these cheesy "things happen for a reason" takes myself, though I don't doubt their heart was in the right place. Still, the actual implications of statements like this are messed up.
@@JET7C0 yeah I do understand your train of thought. While I do agree that there is an inherently cheesy undertone to the statement, "it wasn't his time to go". That is the current reality, he's still here so clearly it wasn't. Now whether or not his time was preordained by some higher power or destiny is another conversation entirely. I think that our existence is indescriminate and chaotic and the unfortunate reality is some of us are "lucky" and avoid juvenile cancers and the like while. Saying it is or isn't someone's time to go is a rather clichéd statement but is based in people's interpretations of each of our inherent luck. Simply put life isn't fair, but stating scenarios of unlucky in this context is just unecessary in my opinion. Hence why I thought it was a bad take. Free speech and discourse such as this is important however.
@@wienix11 So basically, again, kids who are perfectly innocent and good, get brain tumors, get shot in gang warfare crossfires, die in slums, etc. - if there's a "higher power" that decides to subject people to arbitrary and immense suffering, not only do they suck, but we're basically living under a horrific, despotic, spiritual regime if true. Instead, I think it's healthier to realize we are all subject to unforeseen circumstances, external to ourselves, that have no relationship to our internal moral character, our worth, or certainly our future potential, and in that way we can try to help each other through and work to prevent these arbitrary and wholly external tragedies, like say, earthquakes, or cancer, or per the video above: work toward a world where people can realize their potential without having to be a stowaway in a nearly certainly lethal circumstance, without suggesting instead, when one predictably dies, and another survives by the luck of where they placed themselves, that this was meant to be, because they had something to show the world the deceased friend didn't. On a more personal level, my dad died of cancer when I was 7, and he in his early 30s - he was a good man, dad, and on a very promising track in his life, where many of his colleagues made a name for themselves and positive contributions to the world - do I think or believe he suffered horribly and ultimately died from cancer, all the while agonizing over leaving his young children behind, because he didn't have something "significant to show the world" as opposed to his colleagues who survived. No, I don't. While the original commenter's heart I don't doubt was in the right place, this is literally the implication of their statement.
Gabriel is such an awesome dude, he just saw this poor guy outside of a tesco and didn't think twice and asked him if he wanted anything, and without questioning himself he just did it. Good on him.
This guy is a real Die Hard, survived without oxygen, didn't freeze to death , imagine -50s degrees. then didn't die from the fall. He should have bought a lotto ticket on that day.
Atheists gonna hate me for this but there is no way he could have survived that without God. God planned a better future for him that‘s for sure. There is a bigger purpose for him than to just be homeless in south africa.
@@MiraMira-xe5xj Poor Mira mira. what happened was that his brain slowed his heart rate heart which slowed his breathing as if he was in a coma, which regulated the amount of oxygen he needed to survive. as long as his brain was still active within his subconsciousness, once the plane came back to atmospheric temperature, the brain auto start his heart to produce more oxygen... god had nothing to do with it because even at 31000 feet there is still a small amount of oxygen in the air but not enough to keep you conscious which means that your arent dead but you have lost consciousness....

Delighted for Themba that he has been helping and looking after him and they’ve developed such a good friendship. 👌🏻
@@OTRory it's stupid for us yes. But his life in Africa must have been that bad he felt he had to do something so stupid and life risking for a better life. I bet you've never done anything to amount to what this man has done.
His name means Hope in IsiZulu. There's a saying that says "ithemba alilahlwa", meaning one should never lose hope. His name says it all. What else can drive a man to do this except for hoping for greener pastures on the other side. With everything that is going on in SA, I'm happy that he made it there alive. I wish him nothing but the best. As for Gabriel, thank you so much for taking care of one of our brothers. One may underestimate the level of poverty most people suffer from in SA because it is hidden by lovely buildings and educated people who are suffering themselves! For the mere fact that we have people who are on streets with qualifications says a lot about our country. Let me not say more!
Such an amazing story, he really has an angel watching over him. Not only he survived but he found help in the UK. When he said "a guy" I was expecting to see someone from social services, but nope. I wish them both all the best!
@@fatcatfunnies6216 Gabriel was God prime Angel and he didn't became a devil. You are probably talking of Archangel Michael that betrayed God by doing sinful things and became one of the falling Angels. The angel that become the devil is Lucifer the brother of Jesus.
OMG what a story and I'm here complaining about my life. God bless this lovely guy who helped him. God bless him a gazillion times. A brother doesn't have to come from the same womb sometimes. This is a pure example. May God always be with you Themba and may your friends soul rest in peace in Jesus name, Amen.
I'm literally in tears. Such a heart breaking yet wholesome story in the end. May god bless Themba and Gabriel. And may Carlito rest in paradise. You still made it buddy!
Thembas, Carlitos and Garbriels story deserves a movie to be made about it. Amazing story of determination, tragedy, hope and generosity! Well done 👍👏👏👏
Let me set something straight for you. You will NEVER be South African, I don’t care if you were born there or if your people of been there for a long time more than likely they came unwelcomed and we’re probably abusive who knows but you don’t get to claim the title of South African.
@@Katlady001 Africa is a continent. Just like you have black europeans, there are white africans. real africans and jamaicans will tell you, who im assuming is american, that they're just as welcome as anyone else.
I haven't cry for over 15 years but I did actually cried today on watching this video. God doesn't create this world to make anyone to suffer, it's the people who choose to either make others have better lives or make them to suffer. God bless Gabriel and people like him. Themba if you read my this message, I would like to advice you to help at least one person in your life if you can.God bless the soul of your friend and plz continue praying for him.
When Gabriel came on I was shocked at his age, really glad my generation are helping people out. It's a real shame there's charities in the world that do not help those in dire need.
What a guy!!! Gabe is a great man, he saw someone in need and stopped to helped. I love this story. Such a pleasant ending. Condolences to the friend who didn’t make it. 🙏🏾 we all want a better way of life and he got it thanks to Gabe and his fearlessness of getting under the wheel of that plane. ❣️🙏🏾😊
This mans life has been touched by God's mercy and grace. Gabriel wherever you are you've done something so many of us can do but don't, God will bless you for it
As a South African I can say that this has made me appreciate and be grateful for life and all that I've, a roof on my head, food, water, family, education and love. I am happy for Themba and as for Carlito he's an Angel hero, am sure heaven celebrated him.
Heaven needs you to follow the teachings of Christ - not saying Carlito did not, but the criteria is definitely not just stowawaying to a place of world pleasures or easy living.
@@BTheTrue Your question is irrelevant to my point but to answer you anyways, I would have tried as hard as possible to get to some better position and I do not blame them for that but, if anything, commend their courage. That said, my point was that going to the Christian heaven is a totally different kettle of fish that is predicated on believing in Christ and genuinely putting effort daily to follow his precepts. Stowing away does not earn you (or necessarily take away) any points.
It fills my heart with joy seeing that Gabriel its a young lad and he is tryin to do all those things to help Themba. Well done boy, your parents must be really proud of you! RIP Carlito
his level of English is pretty good. the whole purpose of language is not to master it but to use it in order to communicate, even without the subtitles I still understood him very well. This goes to anyone learning a new language, dont worry about perfecting the language, all you need to do is just communicate.
What a story 😲 Gabriel is a top lad and he's what all people should aspire to be. I changed my career to help others and have never looked back. Imagine a world where we ALL helped eachother...
Gabriel, I am in tears right now. God bless you young man. Your life would be nothing but good as long as you live. I was surprised to see you’re so young with such a kind and unbiased heart. Your parents raised you right. You restored my confidence in humanity. Thank you for helping my brother!!
''...you’re so young with such a kind and unbiased heart'' NOBODY IS BORN WITH BIAS. That's why bias has to be continually taught and modelled, otherwise people would just get along, live in peace and help each other, Now THAT would be bad, bad, bad news for rulers/governments, who would have no ''work'' to do.
That young man Gabe is an angel. He's to young to have such a healing disposition. Omg. This young man has taught me something I thought I knew....dont just judge a book by its cover, and do not let fear stop you. May God bless this young man. Wow. Wise beyond his age.
Wow Themba you’re superhuman I’m so happy you are still alive and doing well. Praying for you ❤️ Gabriel you are an amazing human being, helping a stranger and turning his life around xxx
wow this is unreal, the lives that people walk is beyond my comprehension, the raw resiliency is inspiring. And to Gabriel, blown away, that's heart, good on him and everyone else like him.
As a South African myself i can tell you this, our people are strong and a lot of events of history still affect us till this day... so unless you’ve lived in this country and experienced the struggles of not being born into (at least) a middle class family and the struggles of being black (literally struggling on our own land) you have no right to say it’s illegal or shame him. God bless Gabriel, the world would be a better place if we had more people like him.❤️
This was dumb regardless, u have other Africans risking it all to get to South Africa and this guy does this, I’m sure a lot of Africans think living in America or the uk is actually like being in paradise , I keep telling my cousin back home how depressing the uk is they just kept laughing at me
Am really sad that despite all this guy has passed through, he became homeless without support till when he met Gabriel. Am watching this video in 2024 and I had tears when seeing Gabriel. I once travelled to Germany and France, I know how hard homeless life is. May God bless Gabriel.
That makes two of us, just sad that our own people could not get to him and help him while he was still in SA, we have bad things in SA going on, but we have a lot of good people as well, does not matter the colour if their skin. Ubuntu
Something is confusing me here. So this happened in the UK, and this guy stayed in the hospital and in coma for 6 months or so and still he was discharged from the hospital without any social services getting involved to make a provision for him? I would assume that humanitarian/refugee assistance would be in place for him for passing through this trauma. Gabriel as young as he is, he is simply an Angel. God bless him for taking care of that man. 🙏🏾

Hats off to gabriel, what a great person. A selfless person is a person who helps someone but doesn't look for anything in return. That is who Gabriel is....
So much respect for both of these lads! Themba has such a great positive outlook on life dispute being dealt a hard set of cards. Gabriel just has such a good heart! I think we can all do our part to help those in need, even if it's just doing something simple by feeding a homeless person one meal of their day. We all have a duty to care for others!
This world never stops to amaze me. I remember we had an African boy in our school, he was also homeless at age 10. He said from the first day he started working to pay for a plane ticket out of there.. Took him 6 years and he made it. Now he has his own company, driving around picking up "trash" ( leftover materials from building sites) ships them in containers to his hometown, and every summer he goes down and builds houses for homeless kids. Never give up, strive for your beliefs
This story shows how far can a man go and how much he can endure when he becomes desperate,. It also shows how good and noble some people among us can be. Hats off to Gabriel !! you are wonderful. And good luck to Themba you are a real surviver please carry on your adventure in building good life not risking your life this time.
Does any one else think it's more than a little suspect that this guy's name is Gabriel? He just 'happens' to see Themba and decides he's going to change this man's life? I think there might just be a little bit of real life angel in this man.
When Gabriel showed up, I was surprised it's a young lad! He's a real bro.
Hats off to him!

i wasnt expecting a white lad...god bless him..

Youre saying we need more lazy immigrants who just flee to countries who work hard? Youre all insane! This is why the West is going to shit.
Rest in peace Carlito🙏
Wishing Themba the best of luck in his journey. Man, may God bless Gabriel abundantly😩
Amen
What a survival story from Themba. Gabriel, you’re the definition of humanity. God bless you and Themba.
What an amazing story. It is almost as if it’s a movie. Incredible. Hats off to Themba and lots of respect for Gabriel, man, wow!
It should be made into one.
7:20 - As long as I can breathe, I can survive". This lad is utterly inspirational tbh
Thank you Gabriel for being generous and taking care of our brother .best of luck themba
from a greatful South African❤️
aw good luck themba, seems like such a good guy he deserves to have someone looking out for him like gabriel
Gabe is a real one. Respect from Canada 💪
OMG what a story and I'm here complaining about my life. God bless this lovely guy who helped him. God bless him a gazillion times. A brother doesn't have to come from the same womb sometimes. This is a pure example. May God always be with you Themba and may your friends soul rest in peace in Jesus name, Amen.
Gabriel is a proper hero. Words cannot describe how much of a legend he is
This made me emotional. Hats off to Gabriel! Need more people like him.
Why ?
@@alisonhilll4317 to help people like this you cretin
@@alisonhilll4317 you can’t possibly disagree surely
Why?
I'm literally in tears. Such a heart breaking yet wholesome story in the end. May god bless Themba and Gabriel. And may Carlito rest in paradise. You still made it buddy!
Thembas, Carlitos and Garbriels story deserves a movie to be made about it. Amazing story of determination, tragedy, hope and generosity!
Well done 👍👏👏👏
, Ac
Gabriels age and behavior doesn't go together.. he is so mature and has a golden heart
Massive respect to Gabriel for helping out Themba.. such people are extremely precious.
Gabriel, you have such a good heart. I’ve been homeless before so I know how it is. I wish more people are like you. Good work.
As a fellow South African, their desperation just breaks my heart.
Let me set something straight for you. You will NEVER be South African, I don’t care if you were born there or if your people of been there for a long time more than likely they came unwelcomed and we’re probably abusive who knows but you don’t get to claim the title of South African.
@@Katlady001 chill 😂
@@Katlady001 Listen yo, that type of vitriol is *TYPICAL.* Trying doing something different with that energy.
@@Katlady001 Africa is a continent. Just like you have black europeans, there are white africans. real africans and jamaicans will tell you, who im assuming is american, that they're just as welcome as anyone else.
@@Katlady001 you'll never get anywhere with that mentality
I haven't cry for over 15 years but I did actually cried today on watching this video. God doesn't create this world to make anyone to suffer, it's the people who choose to either make others have better lives or make them to suffer. God bless Gabriel and people like him. Themba if you read my this message, I would like to advice you to help at least one person in your life if you can.God bless the soul of your friend and plz continue praying for him.
I’m so touched. Very heartwarming & brings balance in humanity.
What a selfless guy Gabriel is, hats off to you my man.
When Gabriel came on I was shocked at his age, really glad my generation are helping people out. It's a real shame there's charities in the world that do not help those in dire need.
😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
What a guy!!! Gabe is a great man, he saw someone in need and stopped to helped. I love this story. Such a pleasant ending. Condolences to the friend who didn’t make it. 🙏🏾 we all want a better way of life and he got it thanks to Gabe and his fearlessness of getting under the wheel of that plane. ❣️🙏🏾😊
Gabriel is a real g, we need more guys like him in this toxic world
Themba seems crazy for his life for better future and what he did is unbelievable . Gabriel positivity, kindness, and humanity is praiseworthy.
This mans life has been touched by God's mercy and grace. Gabriel wherever you are you've done something so many of us can do but don't, God will bless you for it
If you put yourself through something like that for a better life, you deserve to live anywhere in the world
As a South African I can say that this has made me appreciate and be grateful for life and all that I've, a roof on my head, food, water, family, education and love. I am happy for Themba and as for Carlito he's an Angel hero, am sure heaven celebrated him.
Heaven needs you to follow the teachings of Christ - not saying Carlito did not, but the criteria is definitely not just stowawaying to a place of world pleasures or easy living.
@@darelet sure. so I guess if YOU were in their desperate circumstances, you would just have stayed homeless and died right?
@@BTheTrue Your question is irrelevant to my point but to answer you anyways, I would have tried as hard as possible to get to some better position and I do not blame them for that but, if anything, commend their courage. That said, my point was that going to the Christian heaven is a totally different kettle of fish that is predicated on believing in Christ and genuinely putting effort daily to follow his precepts. Stowing away does not earn you (or necessarily take away) any points.
It fills my heart with joy seeing that Gabriel its a young lad and he is tryin to do all those things to help Themba. Well done boy, your parents must be really proud of you!
RIP Carlito
Gabriel you must have some wonderful parents who raised you in a good way and taught you well
Damn bro, right in the feels.
Gabriel and Themba, you guys should write a movie script together about this story and make some money with it.
Gabriel you are truly an angel on earth! Themba you are amazing and I pray that you will live a long life filled with lots of love and happiness!
Angel Gabriel... his parents named him well. Hope Themba is dong well
his level of English is pretty good. the whole purpose of language is not to master it but to use it in order to communicate, even without the subtitles I still understood him very well.
This goes to anyone learning a new language, dont worry about perfecting the language, all you need to do is just communicate.
To go through this, this man deserves a home and a job. No human should have to go through this to live a normal life.
@@Threemore650 I didn't say we should.
@@Threemore650 haven't got a clue what you're on about. This is an exceptional story and you sound bitter it seems.
What a story 😲 Gabriel is a top lad and he's what all people should aspire to be. I changed my career to help others and have never looked back. Imagine a world where we ALL helped eachother...
Gabriel is the hero here. Humanity needs more people like him. God bless you Gabriel!
Gabriel, I am in tears right now. God bless you young man. Your life would be nothing but good as long as you live. I was surprised to see you’re so young with such a kind and unbiased heart. Your parents raised you right. You restored my confidence in humanity. Thank you for helping my brother!!
Truly sister
''...you’re so young with such a kind and unbiased heart''
NOBODY IS BORN WITH BIAS. That's why bias has to be continually taught and modelled, otherwise people would just get along, live in peace and help each other,
Now THAT would be bad, bad, bad news for rulers/governments, who would have no ''work'' to do.
That young man Gabe is an angel. He's to young to have such a healing disposition. Omg. This young man has taught me something I thought I knew....dont just judge a book by its cover, and do not let fear stop you. May God bless this young man. Wow.
Wise beyond his age.
Great story. Angels sometimes appear in unexpected forms. Gabriel, you’re an inspiration and a brilliant role model. Huge admiration my friend!
This story renews my hope for humanity. Gabriel, you have a beautiful soul.
Wow Themba you’re superhuman I’m so happy you are still alive and doing well. Praying for you ❤️ Gabriel you are an amazing human being, helping a stranger and turning his life around xxx
wow this is unreal, the lives that people walk is beyond my comprehension, the raw resiliency is inspiring. And to Gabriel, blown away, that's heart, good on him and everyone else like him.
As a South African myself i can tell you this, our people are strong and a lot of events of history still affect us till this day... so unless you’ve lived in this country and experienced the struggles of not being born into (at least) a middle class family and the struggles of being black (literally struggling on our own land) you have no right to say it’s illegal or shame him. God bless Gabriel, the world would be a better place if we had more people like him.❤️
pretty sure its still illegal
Im with you I’ve been studying Sa history and big respect from London in the uk ❤️💯
This was dumb regardless, u have other Africans risking it all to get to South Africa and this guy does this, I’m sure a lot of Africans think living in America or the uk is actually like being in paradise , I keep telling my cousin back home how depressing the uk is they just kept laughing at me
Am really sad that despite all this guy has passed through, he became homeless without support till when he met Gabriel. Am watching this video in 2024 and I had tears when seeing Gabriel. I once travelled to Germany and France, I know how hard homeless life is. May God bless Gabriel.
Gabriel is a example of what a wonderful young generation we have growing up in this country, really gives me hope for the future.
Never knew that people like Gabriel are still alive.Hes an angel in a human form
I'm a South African and very touched by Themba's story.
God bless you Gabriel, you're truly an amazing and inspiring person bro😇🙏
That makes two of us, just sad that our own people could not get to him and help him while he was still in SA, we have bad things in SA going on, but we have a lot of good people as well, does not matter the colour if their skin. Ubuntu
Best of luck to Temba and Gabriel is a real one.
Something is confusing me here. So this happened in the UK, and this guy stayed in the hospital and in coma for 6 months or so and still he was discharged from the hospital without any social services getting involved to make a provision for him?
I would assume that humanitarian/refugee assistance would be in place for him for passing through this trauma.
Gabriel as young as he is, he is simply an Angel. God bless him for taking care of that man. 🙏🏾
What an incredible pair of guys 🙏🙏
Rest in peace carlito your a warrior 👊👊 god give this man a good life we all take luxury for granted
Why “god” he didn’t do it, Gabriel did. You don’t need god
kizzkizz06 youre one of them people who always want to start an irrelevant religious argument
@@kizzkizz06 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. - 1 Corinthians 2:14
Gabriel makes me want to help others as he did
Hats off for Gabriel level of kindness. May you always be full of Kindness.
Hats off to gabriel, what a great person. A selfless person is a person who helps someone but doesn't look for anything in return. That is who Gabriel is....
Thank you so much GABRIEL👊🏿 💗 god bless you.
Gabriel, you truly are the arch angel himself. And for a gentleman so young, what you did is incredible. God bless.
Hats off to Gabriel. When I was his age, all I was interested in was booze and women. The world needs a lot more Gabriels.
the words needs a lot more gabriels? how about you start to become one of the gabriels
@@madgaming810 no need for negativity thanks
@@cosworthTV speak for yourself
@@mrvan3491 no i can speak for al people who dont want negativity
@@cosworthTV you sound quite negative yourself
You should work on yourself first before having a go at other people for nothing
So much respect for both of these lads! Themba has such a great positive outlook on life dispute being dealt a hard set of cards. Gabriel just has such a good heart! I think we can all do our part to help those in need, even if it's just doing something simple by feeding a homeless person one meal of their day. We all have a duty to care for others!
The name Themba means trust/faith/hope. All the best on your journey, hamba kakuhle, Themba 🇿🇦🇬🇧
This world never stops to amaze me.
I remember we had an African boy in our school, he was also homeless at age 10. He said from the first day he started working to pay for a plane ticket out of there.. Took him 6 years and he made it.
Now he has his own company, driving around picking up "trash" ( leftover materials from building sites) ships them in containers to his hometown, and every summer he goes down and builds houses for homeless kids.
Never give up, strive for your beliefs
What an incredible story - another hero!
I wept, then dried my tears and just had to say a BIG Thank you to Gabriel for caring. May your friend's soul Carlito RIP.
Wow, there are angels amongst us. Gabe is what humanity was meant to be!
This story shows how far can a man go and how much he can endure when he becomes desperate,. It also shows how good and noble some people among us can be. Hats off to Gabriel !! you are wonderful. And good luck to Themba you are a real surviver please carry on your adventure in building good life not risking your life this time.
Does any one else think it's more than a little suspect that this guy's name is Gabriel? He just 'happens' to see Themba and decides he's going to change this man's life? I think there might just be a little bit of real life angel in this man.
So much shit in this world that it makes my heart feel warm to know that people like Gabriel are still among us
