'Business Malcolm X' talks to Rian about charity in the age of social media
Updated | By The Scenic Drive with Rian
South African man "Business Malcolm X" has been filmed donating money to those who need it most all over the country. Today he talks to Rian van Heerden about the real motives behind his good deeds.
One small act of kindness can go a very long way, and it seems no one understands that better than Johannesburg's "Business Malcolm X".
Malcolm X (yes, that is his real name) keeps the focus on his deeds and not on his personal profile. He shares videos of himself changing people's lives with a few hundred Rands or some groceries, and the responses have been great so far.
He recently took a homeless man into a local supermarket and told him to "pick out whatever he wants". This is the heartwarming result.
Other kindness sprees have been posted to Malcolm's YouTube page.
Malcolm told Rian that he has given away between four and six million Rand since he started giving in 2006. Despite this, Malcolm says he believes you don't need to be rich in order to extend some kindness to your fellow man.
