The good Samaritan, Dudu Mahlalela of Duduza Hospitality with her family treated Senzo Hopewell Mkhonto to a surprise dinner last night congratulating him for working hard and achieving seven distinctions despite his poor background.
“I met Mkhonto during the announcement of the results in Secunda last week. I introduced myself to him after learning that he comes from Khutsalani Secondary School, which is in my home town and I was inspired to help him where I can. Coming from the rural areas myself, I know the difficulties learners encounter when coming to register in institutions of higher learning in the big cities. I have arranged guys from my company to accompany him to the University of Pretoria for his registration. I will definitely help him where I can,” explained Mahlalela.
