Traffic is crazy in Johannesburg. Everyone is in a hurry. But this taxi driver stops all the cars just to help an old gogo cross the road safely.
He’s not getting paid for it. No one told him to do it. He just did it because it was the right thing.
This is why I still believe in South Africa 🇿🇦. Small acts of kindness like this happen every day, we just don’t see them on the news.
