Twitter Not Happy With Petrol Attendant Nkosi Not Getting His R400k Crowdfunded In His Name! On the 30th of May 2019, Nkosikho, a petrol attendant became a good Samaritan for a stranded woman who had forgotten her bank card at home.<\/strong><\/p>\n Being familiar with the area and not wanting the woman to be stuck, Nkosi paid R100 and asked her to return it whenever she could. The woman, Monet van Deventer did more than just return the R100. She started a crowdfunding campaign to help Nkosi who lives in Khayelitsha with his two kids, mom and brother. She set the goal amount at R100k but the money raise since is R 428k. <\/p>\n The story spread some positivity across all social media platforms and served as inspiration to randomly do good until the crowdfunding company revealed that the money would not be going into Nkosi\u2019s personal account. <\/p>\n \u201cNB: PLEASE NOTE Funds raised by this campaign will be administered by BackaBuddy NPC and transferred directly to the relevant institutions for Nkosi\u2019s children\u2019s education. Funds WILL NOT be paid into Nkosi\u2019s PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT,\u201d the company announced on twitter. <\/p>\n NB: PLEASE NOTE Funds WILL NOT be paid into Nkosi\u2019s PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT.https:\/\/t.co\/MZU2oJiGBG<\/p>\n \u2014 BackaBuddy NPC (@backabuddy) June 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Nkosikho has expressed sheer gratitude for the kind support he has received from the South African people and would like to remind everyone that all focus and praise should go to God who inspires all good deeds. https:\/\/t.co\/MZU2oJiGBG<\/p>\n \u2014 BackaBuddy NPC (@backabuddy) June 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Nkosi has asked that the money is administered by Backabuddy for his safety as he does not live in a safe area. If you have any questions please email info@backabuddy.co.za<\/p>\n \u2014 BackaBuddy NPC (@backabuddy) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Needless to say that black twitter was not happy that Nkosi would not have a coin to spent for his personal needs. Check out some of the reactions below.<\/p>\n Y\u2019all should\u2019ve told people this before you started raising funds \u2013 So that they can get Nkosi\u2019s details and send the money directly to him. Because this is all starting to sound shady. And I\u2019m sure there are other things he would also like to use some of the money for. Smh. https:\/\/t.co\/dVF4GRCYpJ<\/p>\n \u2014 ZiziTheFoodie (@Zizipho_ZA) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n My friends and I contributed close to R15K for Nkosi thinking that we are uplifting a fellow brother kanti he won’t even get a cent.@backabuddy<\/a> We demand a full refund. We will personally send Nkosikho the money. pic.twitter.com\/tjB3NHD81P<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2014 Dr. Sanele B. Gumede ?

Why must someone \u2018handle\u2019 how the money is used? <\/p>\n Give him the money! pic.twitter.com\/wKg0ZAbJnq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Phil Mphela (@PhilMphela) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Wait guys, what is this bullshit?<\/p>\n Can they please give Nkosi his money or give the money back to donors?<\/p>\n Nkosi is an adult, why is he being treated like an irresponsible minor? https:\/\/t.co\/9BLo3C1FgR<\/p>\n \u2014 Morolong (@TowardsUhuru) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I remember when there was crowdfunding for the white waitress who wasn\u2019t tipped, it was unconditional for MoGhel.<\/p>\n Now Nkosi\u2019s donations from kind strangers must come with terms?!???? Is this not benevolent narcissism? Wowz<\/p>\n \u2014 Thole loMthwakazi (@MsAphelele) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n .I hope this is not a case of white folks wanting to supervise a Black man about what’s rightfully due to him. Also, he now has to go through some rigmarole admin to access the cash but ya’ll didn’t sign shit when you got his R100. Has someone interviewed Nkosi?<\/p>\n \u2014 Phukubye (@MorolongZA) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Nkosis Children need to eat today Andrew?<\/p>\n Nkosi has debts and living expenses to take care of today Andrew? https:\/\/t.co\/GkvIUwxY22<\/p>\n \u2014 Nandipha Claudius Dubula (@Nani_Dubula) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The company later changed their statement saying Nkosi would now have full control of his funds. <\/p>\n Update: In response to your concerns, Nkosikho will have full control of how his funds are utilised. Based on his personal request, the relevant institutions (children’s education and living and home expenses) will be paid directly by BackaBuddy #NkosikhoMbele<\/a> #BackaBuddy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 BackaBuddy NPC (@backabuddy) June 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
