Videos of Sandton socialite Malcolm X giving away cash to students recently have been doing the rounds on social media.
Late last year he was called a “blesser with a difference” when he posted a video of himself giving money to two homeless guys for Christmas, and another in a clothing store when he gave a grandmother and her granddaughter money for school shoes for the girl.
He’s now apparently going to universities to give students money.
Earlier this year he told Daily Sun: “I love to help the needy where I can. It really breaks my heart to see people without homes, food or essentials.”
Malcolm X, who now says he’s also known as “Business”, is originally from Sebokeng in the Vaal. He apparently once got into a fight with Home Affairs to have his name legally changed to Malcolm X, in tribute to the late US civil rights icon, but the system would not allow him to have a single letter as a surname. He apparently eventually won the fight and legally changed his name to Malcolm X.
He told Daily Sun he visits old age homes, orphanages and homeless shelters to offer people help. He can regularly be seen hanging out with local and international celebrities and other public figures in his social media postings.
In the latest videos, Malcolm X can be seen on a campus handing out R200 notes, and in another he enters a Cape Town bus to hand everyone in the bus R100 at the minimum.
