Thato from Pietermaritzburg changes the world one day at time, by himself

Loading player...
Thato a man who actually lives the phrase ‘Sometimes you just have to take matters into your very own hands' changes the world one day at a time.

This 36 years old man, wakes up every day an hour earlier from his normal wake up call- whilst fellow residents are making their way to work. He grabs his tools and goes out to clean the streets of his township.

Including the dangerous sewages that the young children in the area play next to- for no clout or payola.

What a guy! and we think we can all identify with different neighbourhoods where maintenance seems to be a foreign concept- where even the weekly waste is not collected for weeks on end.

Shoutout to Thato, you're a man among men!
