Community Kindness Gives Fourways Gardener a New Set of Wheels
Story 1
A simple online post has turned into a powerful act of community kindness in Fourways.
Resident Rene Theron reached out to a local group looking for affordable repairs for her gardener Daniel Selomo’s bicycle, which had faulty brakes and a damaged suspension.
Instead of just recommendations, support poured in. Cycle Lab and members of the cycling community offered to repair the bicycle at no cost.
When Theron collected it, the bike had been fitted with multiple new parts and looked almost brand new.
Selomo was stunned by the gesture and even offered to pay for the repairs, before learning it was a gift
Theron says the experience highlighted the generosity that still exists within local communities.
