Mr Phiri is demonstrating love & care in action – not just talk, but doing good deeds to help learners who have been failed by their govt. It is very sad that after 25 years of democracy, we still have pupils who must cross dangerous rivers to access education. #SaluteMrPhiri https://t.co/mcQPcpvHBD

#SaluteMrPhiri @DBE_SA @DDMabuza. Children need not go through this to get an education. Business in SA please help build a bridge 🙆♀️ How a society treats its most vulnerable – whether children, the infirm or the elderly – is always the measure of its humanity. https://t.co/RquL0ysHkV

#SaluteMrPhiri reminds all of us the type of persons we should have placed in power to lead us. He genuinely cares for his pupil's future and I hope the assisted will apply this life lesson to others as well
