In the video, the family which includes the husband, wife and child and the grandparents wait for Nosi to be brought outside to accept her gift.
The woman’s husband covers Nosi’s eyes before saying that his wife wanted to tell her something.
“We love you Nosi. Happy Driving!” said the mom as the nanny seemingly shocked and tries to come to terms that the new VW Polo parked in the driveway is actually hers.
“Tjoh this is mine, this is mine,” she asks before running to the car and opening the door.
Nosi then runs to the little boy she looks after, picks him up and in a moment that can only be described as true love and ubuntu hugs the child, still unable to believe that the new car was hers.

“I know she’s a great nanny! The way she ran n hugged her Boss (the kid)… says a lot! I’m so happy for her and I’m happy for the family she’s taking care of! They’re blessed to have her.”
Edward Themba congratulated the family for taking care of their nanny.
“Well done to the family. It’s not every day one sees such. I guess they appreciate all the hard work she’s done over the years, a bg congratulations to her.”
Ntokozo Masuku also shared her sentiments that South Africa has changed.
“Beautiful, they are not like their forefathers,” she said on X.
As someone else hands her the keys to her new car, she says: “It’s mine. Guys, you did a big thing for me. I never even dream about this. How can I say thank you to you? I don’t know.”
Nosi is also handed other gifts as she stood next to her new car.
Last year, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise praised the spirit of Ubuntu in South Africa while filming the latest Mission Impossible movie in the country.
Cruise and his team started filming in Mpumalanga and Limpopo in February 2022, using Hoedspruit as a base for their stay before moving to the Drakensberg area in KwaZulu-Natal. (KZN).
He was awarded the David O. Selznick Achievement Award during the Producers Guild of America Awards.
In his acceptance speech, Cruise spoke about his time in South Africa and the spirit of ubuntu.
“It is the idea that humanity is based on the plural, not the singular and Ubuntu essentially means I am, because we are. And I thank all of you, because you are,” Cruise said.
