As he was walking the street, selling the mielies, he came across BI Phakathi, who asked how much one mielies was. The boy responded, saying it was N660. He was carrying a huge bowl with many mielies. If he sells all of them, he would make N23k.

Phakathi gives the young man N6,600, saying he wants only one. But the boy didn’t have change. He ran to the shop for one, but unfortunately, he didn’t get it. Phakathi called him and gave him N1320, telling him he should keep the N660.

The philanthropist further blessed the boy with more money, giving him N56k. The boy was over the moon, beaming with happiness.
