- A social media user took to Facebook to detail how he helped an elderly lady
- The user revealed the old women wanted to buy 'specials' in the store but lost her money
- The kind man ended up buying everything the elderly woman needed
- Rahlao also shared how he helped another elderly lady he saw in the store
On Tuesday, February 25, a man, Lebohang Maburunyana Rahlao, detailed how he had his #ImStaying moment in a Shoprite in Harrismith.
Rahlao revealed he asked the gogo why she wasn't taking any items from the shelves and she answered she had lost her money on the way to the shop.
"This morning i went to Shoprite to do my daily shopping. I found the granny sad in Shoprite holding a pamphlet of goods on sale not realising I've been following her," he started off his post.
Her predicament tugged at his heartstrings and Rahlao told the elderly lady that she should take whatever she needed and he would pay for it.
On their way to the till, Rahlao saw another elderly lady and he decided to pay for her groceries as well.
