With Christmas fastly approaching after a very crazy year - Zach Lloyd decided to surprise Zukisa with a very special gesture.
Zach and his mother, Tanielle, sat down and chatted about how he could do a small gesture just to make one person s Christmas a little more memorable. Mom, I want to buy all the peanuts that that man at the robot sells, Zach said.
Tanielle knew immediately about who he was talking about. It was the man that daily, comes rain or sunshine, would stand at the robots at the top of Waterloo Road and sells peanuts to the public to earn money.
