Making a promise and keeping it are two different stories altogether.
A man in South Africa promised his late friends he would take care of their children after they perished in a road accident, and he actually honoured it.
According to the man, identified as Luthando Zibeko, he took to social media to gush about a young woman who he raised after her parents passed away.
Zibeka took to social media on Thursday, April 12, to share how he stuck to a promise he made to his late friends.
Zibeko shared photos of himself with his late friends’ daughter at her graduation.
According to Zibeko, his friends passed away in a car accident and he promised them he would be a dad to their kids.

“In 2004 I lost two of my best friends, Siphiwo Sisusa and Siviwe Soka in an car accident…I made a promise to both of them, ‘I will be a father to your children’,” he said.

“Proud moment to watch Lingelihle Soka degree in 2018 and Honors in 2019. God bless her… Siviwe must be smiling,” he wrote.
The post gave social media users the feels and they applauded Zibeko for fulfilling his promise.

This is incredible, Bra Trompies. Ngelihle and I, were together for our lower grades at Mount Nicholas Junior Secondary School, not so long ago! But wow, I’m so overwhelmed to see how well she’s done for herself. Congrats to her, you and the entire fam!— Minto (@Mihlalibaleka) April 11, 2019
