A man known by many as B.I. Phakathi has been roaming around mzansi and spreading the spirit of ubuntu by showing love to many underprivileged people by offering them food and money.

On many videos shared on his social media accounts, this man who has never revealed his face on social media can be seen going around giving street vendors and street dwellers thousands of rands for food and clothes for their kids.

Some street dwellers who have received money from him have expressed that they would use it to travel back home as they didn’t know how they’d go back due to lack of funds.

Not only does BI do this to street dwellers and vendors, he also has been seen handing out food parcels to families in struggling communities.
