I never give these beggars money, but there was this one guy in Fourways i gave R100, he was an old guy, dressed very nearly, had his comb in his sock, and did not have that “brandewyn gesig”
Actually broke my heart seeing him
edit
I also tend to give away things,
Like maybe my brother will play on my xbox and i will see how much he enjoys it, then i will give it to him,
Gave away my MP3 walkman as well to one of my friends, and a car radio, a motherboard and CPU,
3kg Whey isolate and 1 kg Creatine to someone wo enjoyed to gym but did not have the cash for supplements...., even my Media player i gave away coz one of my female friends could not watch movies at her place...., come to think of it, 90% of all my old cellphones i also gave away to people who had crappier phones

Not a lot of things makes me happy, and earthly possessions least of all, makes me much happier seeing other people happy
