FEEL GOOD | WATCH: From life on the street to permanent employment - How one good deed changed this former beggar's life

Twenty-two-year-old Sibongiseni Nkosi is proudly earning his keep as a petrol attendant after one act of kindness landed him the job.

Nkosi helped motorist Vic Campher push his broken down car three weeks ago - something Nkosi never thought would turn his life around.

Campher, whose hobby involves classic cars, told News24 he was driving his old Jaguar down Kingsway Avenue, Johannesburg, when it broke down and he was stuck.

"It was 18:30 and getting dark. I was worried about how to get back but then Tom, which is Sibongiseni's street name, came running along and started helping me."

Campher said they had to push the car back to the Volvo dealership where he is a managing director.

"I didn't think he would give me a job as a petrol attendant, I thought I would sweep the yard or something, not this," Nkosi said as he was filling a motorist's tank.

Nkosi, who lived on the streets for more than three years, said he was grateful that he no longer had to deal with the hardships of being homeless.

"It was tough. In winter, if I left my blanket somewhere, when I got back someone would've already taken it from me."

"I'm just happy that I am getting my complexion back again because the sun is so bad when you are in the streets," he said.
