Trustworthy security officer hands in R30 000

Would you find the rightful owner and return the envelope or would you keep it for yourself?

It was business as usual for ADT Kusela security officer Andries Semase as he carried out his security duties at the Boksburg Medicross.

That was until he came across an envelope containing a sum of R30 000 at the pharmacy recently.

Not even thinking twice what to do with the unclaimed money, with his integrity and professionalism intact, he handed the envelope to pharmacy manager, Umme Salma Mahomed, who was shocked by the discovery of the envelope.

According to Semase he just saw an envelope at the pharmacy counter with no one attending to it until he decided to look who the envelope belonged to.

According to Medicross Clinic administrator, Antoinette Prinsloo, it wasn’t long after the discovery that a anxious woman came into the pharmacy looking for the envelope which she said must have fallen out of her handbag.

As it turned out, the funds were being delivered to hospice.

She was ecstatic to recover it and thanked Semase for his trustworthiness.
