TimesLive reports on a social media post, which went viral after originally having been posted on 10 December, about how one motorist’s selfless act of ubuntu saved a petrol attendant from losing his job.
The motorist‚ Brian Dawson‚ said he and his family had been on a 700km long trip when they needed to refuel in Vaalwater in Limpopo. “We were served by a petrol attendant who said he would have to leave his job coz [sic] he couldn’t read anymore. He battled to see the buttons on the swipe machine‚” wrote Dawson. He went on to explain: “I handed my reading glasses to Petrus. He put them on and beamed. He could read again. He proudly read out the amount on the machine. I told him to keep the glasses. He says he’s young again and doesn’t need to retire anymore.” Dawson posted a picture of the petrol attendant in his new glasses.
