Marcus said on Facebook: ‘Come, let me share something with you today ... I drive the road to Warmbad every day and see an uncle struggling along the road with his wheelchair. Something inside of me told me to turn around and ask him where he is off to and if I may give him a lift. I gave him a R100 and a cool drink and I could see he is grateful as he wipes his tears. I wanted to help the uncle with a wheelchair. It would cost a few rands, but I decided to make a plan…’
