This guy treated a stranger as if they were his own child, why can’t everyone be this way?! God bless to this man! Edit: Ok so, if you got nothing nice to say don’t say anything. Don’t try to tell me “oh what about you?” Or because “we aren’t rich or aren’t Christians.” Everyone can be nice if they just respect others. So if you got nothing nice to say put in comments, do not reply it into my comment because frankly I don’t want to hear it. Thank you. Edit: here we go again. So I see a lot of comments saying that “because not all of us have the money to help others.” I’m here to tell you, YOU DONT NEED MONEY TO HELP OTHERS! Literally saying good morning to a neighbor or helping out someone who is hurt is showing kindness. You don’t need money to say thank you or your welcome to people, you don’t need money to simply hug or compliment someone. You see money can help others in a DRASTIC way but you do not need money to help spread kindness. Keep helping others. Edit: I just want to say thank you to all the amazing people I have seen in the replies who back me up with the kindness we need to show! I really appreciate it and gives hope and positivity to say that I think our world is in good hands. Thank you for stepping up and doing your thing, I LOVE YOU ALL!
I was a teen mother and a friend was arrested and car was impounded, I was released to walk home. I was literally barefoot and pregnant, and far from home. A complete stranger took me into Kmart and bought me shoes, gave me 20 bucks for food and money for cab fair. He was a guardian angel that night I was terrified. Thank you to all the Angels that walk on earth.
I have such a love for this boy. He’s so determined, so respectful and deserves so much better. A young boy should never live without happiness, love, safety and a home. How I wish I could take him in. Please God, grant this boy the miracle of a loving family. Always praying for you son. From America. 🙏🏻

I can’t even begin to imagine how he feels. His parents dead, and unwanted from the only place he could’ve considered home. He is definitely a strong boy. Hope the best for him in life.
I hope he gets adopted by a kind family, what a brave boy. Thank you to the man helping him, you are so kind and generous. It's probably the first time this boy has ever experienced such kindness. Thank you. 🥰🥰🥰
I was homeless as a teenager and my friends parents were okay with me staying the night until they found I was homeless and then turned me away. Pretty crazy. There's no way I could do that to a child
I mean its understandable, they aren't expecting to adopt another kid. What I don't understand is why they chased him out, instead of calling child services. Maybe that's not an option in all countries, but damn pretty sad.
That is pretty stone cold. So if you have a home it's okay to stay there but if you don't have a home you can't stay there..... WTF? I would have made you a little room.
I am blown away!!! He's just a child. He desperately needed help and you did what Jesus would have you do. So beautiful!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!❤️✝️😭👏🥰
I am 61 years old I know exactly how this young man feels. I never had shoes growing up. I was made fun of so bad. Good Bless your soul. Thank you for being you.
That was very kind. I'm sure you changed that boy's life forever. I hope someday he will be in a position to pay it forward. God Bless You for helping a child. ❤ 🇨🇦
When u dont have anything u realise the value of life and the little things. But when u have plenty of stuff, then u become egoistical and douche such is the way of society nowadays 🙁
Praise God that there are people with this type of loving soul that are still willing to help a complete stranger. Lord Jesus richly bless this young boy, and this kind man in Jesus Mighty name ❤️.
As a mom, this breaks my heart to see a vulnerable kid out in the world like this. Lord Jesus, please bless all who help him, and please, in Your Holy Name, protect him from every predator. Amen.
@@alanbbrady8196 Alan, The Bible says that if you seek the Lord with all your heart you will find Him. You will too. Jesus is very real. Even Atheists agree that there was a man named Jesus who walked the Earth and was crucifix by the Romans 2,000 years ago. Read about Jesus in The New Testament. The Bible is the living Word of God. Pray and ask God to open your eyes brother.
@@kutingbaliton9860 God Almighty put Bi Phakati in the young boys path to bless him, God uses people to bless others like God did with me and with you too, please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cdoss was buried and rose again according to scripture, we are saved by Grace through Faith in Christ alone not of ourselves not of works shall any man boast, for God gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have everlasting life, Jesus Christ is coming back any second now, you do not want to be left behind with the Antichrist it will be horrific in the Great Tribulation
This is so powerful. This boy is a survivor! He has never completely known the life of a family the love of a father to be consistently provided for, protected and guided. I can't get over how he had the eyes and instinct to know that this boy was out of place and needed help!! Safe Help. Because a blonde boy like that is extremely vulnerable in this day and age. He sure is tough he he's going to be a great man one day but he does need help by a Constant Friend and Mentor. . God Bless You!!!!❤
I live a middle-class life in Australia...this takes my breath away the poverty and need in..South Africa...what a young man...a real life hero and warrior...may this boy and his benefactor be eternally blessed.Amen.
@@patrickphokoane641 its a vastly different level here in Australia .... Ive been in Sth Africa & lived in India & those are both mind numbing serious levels of poverty
@Heather lies ...do aborigines lives like most of you white devils in Australian no they live in squalor conditions, just like the US there's too much homelessness and poverty most countries in the world have rich areas and poor areas where there too much need and hopelessness
I live in California. There's poverty in places here, but the impoverished in South Africa look much, much worse off than here. To start with, the poor people here are fat. I don't see fat poor people there.
@@YA-qj8fx correct the vast majority of people homeless in la either have mental health issues or drug addiction issues or both.... In South Africa many do not . Many look like they're drug addicts because they're out exposed to the elements all day and they're not getting proper nutrition let alone enough food. You can work all day there and barely make enough to eat. If you can find a job . If you'll notice in many of these videos that people have trades or skill sets and want to work they simply cannot find work..... We have an issue with obesity in America on the homeless population. Don't get me wrong there are people that go hungry in America but it's for other reasons mainly kids due to parental neglect amoung other issues . Its sad . I just wish more amaricans realized how good we have it and stop taking everything for granted .
I honestly don’t know what to say this guy is a living legend who helps kids.. I’m sure this kid will remember u forever and will cherish the day he met you.. god bless
I started crying when he said both his parents died when he was little, then his friends parents kicked him out of their house, chased him out! Then to see him eating a burger with a smile, I lost it. Just be kind Ppl. My god how cruel is this world.
I cannot for the life of me imagine how a parent can do that knowing he is an orphan!!Bl you have helped countless people, but this teenager's plight has me in tears!Thank you for helping him& may the Holy Spirit continue to guide you in his work, looking out for the vulnerable.God bless you Sir.🤗👍❤
After watching Mr biphakathi I am blessing at least one person in need everyday. Today I went to coffee shop to see if I can buy sandwich and coffee for someone but no one was outside so I went to thrift store and bought 2 people items in their cart. It doesn't take much to make a difference in someone life . God bless you all 🙏❤️💚💪🏽🤙🏼👊🏼
@@jayr.7209 every month when my check comes I always give to those in need. I'm blessed with a roof over my Head and food to eat. So many are not even the basic necessities. . Like this boy, not even clothes that's are necessary. It's called humanity for your fellow mankind. I'm a Christian lady and I live with God in my heart always. You will be blessed also for helping others in need. May God bless you.
I feel bad for this kid his parents died that's the worst thing having no parents but I'm so happy this man helping this kid is a blessing I hope god bless him and the kid 💗💗♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Rigo is a person whose life has been very hard but nevertheless he is a child who has proven to stand out above all and he is a child of admiration 🙏♥️🙋🏻♂️
This child needs someone to take him in & raise him properly. His main focus s/b school, not basic survival. He also needs therapy as he has been traumatized by the loss of his mother & family. I would take him in provided he is not hiding uncontrollable violence. For that issue he would need more intense therapy & living conditions. My hope is that he has not sold his body pedophiles in order for him to servive.
... and left without his shoes because they were in the room. Being homeless is rough, being a child alone and homeless.... can't fathom how that feels.
I know the feeling.. I find it hard to understand why people are so eager to use the stick when no one is watching.. I wish I was lucky enough to run into the helpless in their time of need. As I say, I know what it’s like to be the last one out for having not been a squeaky wheel, it kills me to know that there are so few guardian angels out there.. Yet, ironically, there are so many rich and powerful individuals; hardly any of the earthly rich see heaven.. I suppose that at least we know that to be the downtrodden is to be the closest to god..
Faith fills a cup slowly. He now knows that good does exist in this world. I'm sure he'll pay it forward one day, when his circumstances have changed for the better.
Color doesn’t exist on humans, you should get that out of your head starting today, All humans have a Dark To Light skin tone, thanks to our star we have it
I was horrified how easily he approached the car and then went with him. He would be a target fr all kinds of horrors . Thank God he was in the hands of this good Samaritan 👍
@@singmysong1167 I bet he warned him because they were together shopping for a while before he got the young man on the bus so I'm sure they talked about a lot of things
My thoughts as well! He looks so young. Maybe 15 or 16 years old! It's dangerous to be hitch hiking. I will keep him in my prayers! 🙏 I hope he has a safe place to stay. 🙏 ♥
Literally crying my eyes out! This is the definition of selflessness and unconditional love for your neighbour! Such a lump in my throat!! Thank you and God bless you xx 😘
Im a mother and grandmother and i just want to adopt this child!!! Show him the wonderful family life he could have. Such a well mannered child. Please god keep him safe. Any updates on his well being? 🙏🙏🙏
@@dailysensation1 Wow, I thought I was only 6 months in development, obviously that is a saying, but in the end it is like a baby, there is not much difference between a child and a baby, and less on the street
it was the voice of God in his head. He made that move of moving out even before the friend's parent chased him. God was positioning him for such greatness.I hope that his story changed for good
@@jonnydoe1170 being on the streets in South Africa is orders of magnitude more dangerous that in the US. You must not know much about the violence and the cruelty that takes place in South Africa.
There’s like a dagger struck my chest when i heard him say the mom and dad are dead. So sad right now. God bless you Kid. And God bless you Bro for helping this Kid.
@Jacob Sirak truly crazy, being homeless at the age of 8? Man, I can't imagine what it would have been if I was him. By the way, "I just gave you your 8th like" was kinda unnecessary
To all Humans: This is how we are supposed to treat each other. Nothing in life is free, this boy will be a man soon and will help others. The man who helped him will be, and has been, rewarded for hii kind, loving spirit! We're not supposed to give anything more than opportunity, lessons of kindness and love! Wise Words:::: Give a man a fish and he can eat for one day, but Teach a man (person) to fish and he can eat for a lifetime!!!
@@thisismyname1701 They need to be taught by an older wiser fish how to avoid being caught by fishermen. But also more importantly he needs to be taught how to steal bait. Teach a fish how not to be caught he will live to swim another day. Teach a fish to steal bait he will also have a free snack!
Very respectful boy. You could see when he was handed the second bill he wasn't sure what was happening. I think he was overwhelmed a bit with so much giving from a complete stranger.
I agree. He also understood the value of money and was careful to put it safe so he wouldn't loose it. It was also good to see BI give him two small bills to pay his taxi ride. For anyone not familiar with S. African currency- The Rand (ZAR) the Blue notes are ZAR 100 and are about US $6 the Brown notes are ZAR 20. US 1$ equals about ZAR 17. UK 1£ equals about ZAR 22.
Thank you so much for helping these people. My heart goes out to you . God bless you and your generosity. Your kindness has been so heartwarming it brings tears to my eyes. 😊💕
I saw this on an article on twitter: “The young man without shoes has been found well and safe. I have been told on the call by his guardians he fled his residence at Girls and Boys Town and lied to visit his ex-foster parents. I spoke to him about it, and he apologized, he has a grandmother looking after him. Thanks to Bekker High for helping him and Girls and Boys Town for the job that they do to kids in need. All is well I don’t have any further details. It’s all about love and thanks to everyone who got in touch to assist him; you are truly appreciated.”
@@ytakim49 Thanks for the info. Now im wondering why he felt the need to lie. He was traveling in poor conditions anyhow and walked alone and with nothing. I worry maybe he was being mistreated I hope he will be ok
@@katherinerosemore274 Kids lie for a lot of reasons. I work with children. You have to question them casually. They tend to not lie if not directly questioned. Kids have little power and feel they have to manipulate to get what they need or want. This was a good man to take care of him. Very scary if a trafficker would have picked him up instead.
You can see the pain and trauma in his eyes, poor young sweet boy, left to the vultures of the world. This sweet man. He gave this boy back his dignity. Just tragic how this happens everyday and these sweet humans are just swept under the rug, and still they keep true to themselves and morals. Never got opportunities and still maintain a hopeful positive outlook. When he came out looking like a real boy again, i cried. Thank God for good samaritans like this. Never judge a book by its cover, he had his shirt inside out to hide the dirt... fucking just a kid
As an old South African living in the UK now, I've never seen something like this. This guy made me cry every time i look at his actions. Im ashamed of myself when i see what he's doing. Don't wanna say anymore just " You don't know how great you are my friend" May you be blessed
God bless you man for everything you’ve done for this boy. I could hardly hold my tears.. it touched me to the core of my sole. Bless you my dear. Bless you.
Why? Why is that the one thing you think about. Becoming famous and rich 😔 I hope this kid will find happiness, and good people that will help him during rough times. And btw I doubt he does this to be recoqnized, he wants us to see his good actions and start helping out aswell.
john doe jumping to conclusions I see. All they did was make a comment imagining what would happen, it doesn’t matter whether they used the words “rich and famous” or “happy and family,”
This is heartbreaking. The innocent look in his eyes when you were handing him the money just broke my heart. He was thankful but also looked worried to be on his own. Poor kid, this is so sad. I pray he's ok! Thank you sir for what you do, we love you over here in 🇺🇲

That’s ONLY what he’s told him just imagine what else hes been thru 😒
I hope he gets adopted by a kind family, what a brave boy. Thank you to the man helping him, you are so kind and generous. It's probably the first time this boy has ever experienced such kindness. Thank you. 🥰🥰🥰
I was homeless as a teenager and my friends parents were okay with me staying the night until they found I was homeless and then turned me away. Pretty crazy. There's no way I could do that to a child
I mean its understandable, they aren't expecting to adopt another kid. What I don't understand is why they chased him out, instead of calling child services. Maybe that's not an option in all countries, but damn pretty sad.
Tornado I don’t get turning someone away though if it’s understood it’ll just be for a night or two.
That is pretty stone cold. So if you have a home it's okay to stay there but if you don't have a home you can't stay there..... WTF? I would have made you a little room.
@@chilabean01 Exactly! Eventually I lady did take me in and helped me get back on my feet. But there were tons of parents who turned me away
Wow,I am glad God has walked 🙏 with you throughout this
I would adopt him in a minute if it were possible. I hope he has someone to give him a forever home and unconditional love.
I say that about abused or murdered children all the time; I'm 65 in bad health but have lots of love to give.
Why haven't you given a forever home and unconditional love to someone needy than? After all, there are literally millions out there.
God bless you

I would love to have this boy as my son. How disconnected our world has become. Thank you Bi!
I am blown away!!! He's just a child. He desperately needed help and you did what Jesus would have you do. So beautiful!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!❤️✝️😭👏🥰
This child needs a proper home proved by good & kind people.

Seeing the difference in this child's face brought tears to my eyes❤
This was 2 years ago. I hope the boy is doing better now. Thank you for helping him out 🙏
Can you please tell me if he’s all right gosh why can’t someone just take him in😢😢😢😢
@@holycow8743 yeah he is safe apparently he is now living with his grandmother after they found him
Notice how the face on this boy softens and relaxes when he is in new clothing and eating and realizing that someone CARES about him!
And his smile too
The friendly man could of been a weirdo. This boy is not streetwise
@@GuitarBaby56 he took a chance and luckily he was a good guy . Hopefully there is many more good than bad
@Burning Tatortot his life..he could be abused and killed. There are pedo's out there or dont you realise that?
@@GuitarBaby56 The kid sensed he WAS friendly. That was being streetwise.
I am 61 years old I know exactly how this young man feels. I never had shoes growing up. I was made fun of so bad. Good Bless your soul. Thank you for being you.
That was very kind. I'm sure you changed that boy's life forever. I hope someday he will be in a position to pay it forward. God Bless You for helping a child. ❤ 🇨🇦
i like how humble the kid is and how generous the adult is.
Imagine if he wasn’t paying attention to the boy and didn’t talk to him.
Yes thing would be different
Let's not

That's what most of us do..Saying that is sad but it's the truth
@@iamgonnagocryagain1401 im gonna have to agree with you
He walked for so long just to go to school and trying to find a home. That’s what I like to call a true determination

he had no idea what else to do
Ryan Fernandes yeah it's south africa
Like a fallout courier
Praise God that there are people with this type of loving soul that are still willing to help a complete stranger. Lord Jesus richly bless this young boy, and this kind man in Jesus Mighty name ❤️.
As a mom, this breaks my heart to see a vulnerable kid out in the world like this. Lord Jesus, please bless all who help him, and please, in Your Holy Name, protect him from every predator. Amen.
amen!
@@alanbbrady8196 Alan, The Bible says that if you seek the Lord with all your heart you will find Him. You will too. Jesus is very real. Even Atheists agree that there was a man named Jesus who walked the Earth and was crucifix by the Romans 2,000 years ago. Read about Jesus in The New Testament. The Bible is the living Word of God. Pray and ask God to open your eyes brother.
Amen

@@kutingbaliton9860 God Almighty put Bi Phakati in the young boys path to bless him, God uses people to bless others like God did with me and with you too, please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cdoss was buried and rose again according to scripture, we are saved by Grace through Faith in Christ alone not of ourselves not of works shall any man boast, for God gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have everlasting life, Jesus Christ is coming back any second now, you do not want to be left behind with the Antichrist it will be horrific in the Great Tribulation

@@soulpunisher4136 wtf? Not every white person thinks that way.
This is so powerful. This boy is a survivor! He has never completely known the life of a family the love of a father to be consistently provided for, protected and guided. I can't get over how he had the eyes and instinct to know that this boy was out of place and needed help!! Safe Help. Because a blonde boy like that is extremely vulnerable in this day and age. He sure is tough he he's going to be a great man one day but he does need help by a Constant Friend and Mentor. . God Bless You!!!!❤
I live a middle-class life in Australia...this takes my breath away the poverty and need in..South Africa...what a young man...a real life hero and warrior...may this boy and his benefactor be eternally blessed.Amen.
Poverty and need is everywhere even with Australia is there
@@patrickphokoane641 its a vastly different level here in Australia .... Ive been in Sth Africa & lived in India & those are both mind numbing serious levels of poverty
@Heather lies ...do aborigines lives like most of you white devils in Australian no they live in squalor conditions, just like the US there's too much homelessness and poverty most countries in the world have rich areas and poor areas where there too much need and hopelessness
I live in California. There's poverty in places here, but the impoverished in South Africa look much, much worse off than here. To start with, the poor people here are fat. I don't see fat poor people there.
@@YA-qj8fx correct the vast majority of people homeless in la either have mental health issues or drug addiction issues or both.... In South Africa many do not . Many look like they're drug addicts because they're out exposed to the elements all day and they're not getting proper nutrition let alone enough food. You can work all day there and barely make enough to eat. If you can find a job . If you'll notice in many of these videos that people have trades or skill sets and want to work they simply cannot find work..... We have an issue with obesity in America on the homeless population. Don't get me wrong there are people that go hungry in America but it's for other reasons mainly kids due to parental neglect amoung other issues . Its sad . I just wish more amaricans realized how good we have it and stop taking everything for granted .
I honestly don’t know what to say this guy is a living legend who helps kids.. I’m sure this kid will remember u forever and will cherish the day he met you.. god bless
Exaclty
Who ever this beautiful soul is May the all Mighty reward him for caring and his kindness
Far play to this man , what a guy !
My sentiment exactly.
Amen
So true. He is a real life hero.
Amen!!
GOD BLESS THEM BOTH. Nice to see there are real brothers looking out for other brothers. Wish more people can be this way.
as a father of three boys, it breaks my heart to see these young men alone without a dad.
So heart breaking
I started crying when he said both his parents died when he was little, then his friends parents kicked him out of their house, chased him out! Then to see him eating a burger with a smile, I lost it. Just be kind Ppl. My god how cruel is this world.
Hi phakathi did the boy phoned you. When he arrived. My heart is bleeding
Very cruel... it was money that destroyed the planet
Who could turn their back on this precious child? You have many jewels in your heavenly crown!
Scuffed world i hope he will become good
Prayers to him Jesus loves and has a plan for all I pray his parent were saved also and he could fin the Lord and his love and comfort!.
Not all heros wear capes. This brought tears to my eyes.
He might have a cape tho...
@@markusernstsson This man just might!
Thank you for blessing this child’s life! He will never forget your kindness and neither will God! May God bless you always! 🙏🏻
You helped the kid out beyond what he’s capable of understanding at his young age! When he grows up later he will never forget your kindness
I agree! He will never get this kind man. When this kind man is dead and gone, he will be remembered!
That kid is smart
I agree
its been witnessed almost 4 million times around the world.. no one that's watched it will forget the kindness
Not only that, bcoz someone was kind to him he will grow up God-willing to be kind to others as well.
this boy was 100% scared during the entire convresation. God bless you for being such a wonderfull man and not abusing this poor fella!
Poor baby. That makes me sad. I hope his life turns around for him.
In the long run it will

After watching Mr biphakathi I am blessing at least one person in need everyday. Today I went to coffee shop to see if I can buy sandwich and coffee for someone but no one was outside so I went to thrift store and bought 2 people items in their cart.

God bless you all 🙏❤️💚💪🏽🤙🏼👊🏼

Micah Tucker I mean he didn’t look at the camera for a second. I agree
Rigo is a person whose life has been very hard but nevertheless he is a child who has proven to stand out above all and he is a child of admiration 🙏♥️🙋🏻♂️
2:10 "and then I decided I'm unwanted". Absolutely heartbreaking.
🥺 I know...
This child needs someone to take him in & raise him properly. His main focus s/b school, not basic survival. He also needs therapy as he has been traumatized by the loss of his mother & family. I would take him in provided he is not hiding uncontrollable violence. For that issue he would need more intense therapy & living conditions. My hope is that he has not sold his body pedophiles in order for him to servive.
... and left without his shoes because they were in the room. Being homeless is rough, being a child alone and homeless.... can't fathom how that feels.
I know the feeling.. I find it hard to understand why people are so eager to use the stick when no one is watching..
I wish I was lucky enough to run into the helpless in their time of need. As I say, I know what it’s like to be the last one out for having not been a squeaky wheel, it kills me to know that there are so few guardian angels out there..
Yet, ironically, there are so many rich and powerful individuals; hardly any of the earthly rich see heaven.. I suppose that at least we know that to be the downtrodden is to be the closest to god..
😭😭
That kid is so given up, even after this man bought him new stuffs, he didn't look surprised nor happy. Its painful 💔 😞
Faith fills a cup slowly. He now knows that good does exist in this world. I'm sure he'll pay it forward one day, when his circumstances have changed for the better.
I wonder how long before he is again robbed by his friends
He still have no one in his life , no family , no friends .... and no home ... i would be in shock not happy nor sad
I have given up ☹️
guided one I have a roof enough food but not enough not a lot of people to talk to
That's what money means when it comes to helping out others in a time of need. Money is nothing. REMEMBER! PERFECT MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE.

His situation may not get better, but his mind and heart have been affected.
I was horrified how easily he approached the car and then went with him. He would be a target fr all kinds of horrors . Thank God he was in the hands of this good Samaritan 👍
Yes! I had the same horrible forebodings for him. That man should have warned him of the evil out there. The boy looks so innocent!
@@singmysong1167 I bet he warned him because they were together shopping for a while before he got the young man on the bus so I'm sure they talked about a lot of things
My thoughts as well.
My thoughts as well! He looks so young. Maybe 15 or 16 years old! It's dangerous to be hitch hiking. I will keep him in my prayers! 🙏 I hope he has a safe place to stay. 🙏 ♥
Some of those kids are on very high alert even though it might not seem that way but I know you are talking about.
Literally crying my eyes out! This is the definition of selflessness and unconditional love for your neighbour! Such a lump in my throat!! Thank you and God bless you xx 😘

It scares me to see him trust a stranger. How is it he went with you so quickly? I’m so happy you showed him human compassion.
He has grown on his own without a parent its sad but thats why
As a kid it’s hard to predict possible outcomes childhood innocence let’s say
it was the voice of God in his head. He made that move of moving out even before the friend's parent chased him. God was positioning him for such greatness.I hope that his story changed for good
hes not in the US. THATS when it would be scary. I was on my own in the streets when I was 13. you develop a really good antenna.
@@jonnydoe1170 being on the streets in South Africa is orders of magnitude more dangerous that in the US. You must not know much about the violence and the cruelty that takes place in South Africa.

I'm always overjoyed to see how humble and kind some people are. The boy and guy are just wonderful thank you for these vids so encouraging
There’s like a dagger struck my chest when i heard him say the mom and dad are dead. So sad right now. God bless you Kid. And God bless you Bro for helping this Kid.
@Jacob Sirak truly crazy, being homeless at the age of 8? Man, I can't imagine what it would have been if I was him. By the way, "I just gave you your 8th like" was kinda unnecessary
You will go straight to where GOD reigns...blessed are you and keep being a blessing to others..
To all Humans: This is how we are supposed to treat each other. Nothing in life is free, this boy will be a man soon and will help others. The man who helped him will be, and has been, rewarded for hii kind, loving spirit! We're not supposed to give anything more than opportunity, lessons of kindness and love!

But what about the poor defensless fish...
@@thisismyname1701 They need to be taught by an older wiser fish how to avoid being caught by fishermen. But also more importantly he needs to be taught how to steal bait. Teach a fish how not to be caught he will live to swim another day. Teach a fish to steal bait he will also have a free snack!

I still think about this little boy till this day.Hope you were able to see him again 😢
Very respectful boy. You could see when he was handed the second bill he wasn't sure what was happening. I think he was overwhelmed a bit with so much giving from a complete stranger.
I agree. He also understood the value of money and was careful to put it safe so he wouldn't loose it.
It was also good to see BI give him two small bills to pay his taxi ride.

This kid deserves follow ups. I'm sure we'd all like that
I saw this on an article on twitter:
“The young man without shoes has been found well and safe. I have been told on the call by his guardians he fled his residence at Girls and Boys Town and lied to visit his ex-foster parents. I spoke to him about it, and he apologized, he has a grandmother looking after him. Thanks to Bekker High for helping him and Girls and Boys Town for the job that they do to kids in need.
All is well I don’t have any further details. It’s all about love and thanks to everyone who got in touch to assist him; you are truly appreciated.”

You can see the pain and trauma in his eyes, poor young sweet boy, left to the vultures of the world. This sweet man. He gave this boy back his dignity. Just tragic how this happens everyday and these sweet humans are just swept under the rug, and still they keep true to themselves and morals. Never got opportunities and still maintain a hopeful positive outlook. When he came out looking like a real boy again, i cried. Thank God for good samaritans like this. Never judge a book by its cover, he had his shirt inside out to hide the dirt... fucking just a kid
As an old South African living in the UK now, I've never seen something like this. This guy made me cry every time i look at his actions. Im ashamed of myself when i see what he's doing. Don't wanna say anymore just " You don't know how great you are my friend" May you be blessed
