Meet Zikhaya Sithole, a South African man who risked his life to save kids that were trapped in a burning shack. He’s now hailed as a HERO.
While making his way home from a local tuckshop, he heard a mother’s desperate cry for help.
Her two little ones were trapped inside the burning shack and were minutes away from collapsing.
Without a second thought to his own safety, Zikhaya courageously sprung into action, rushed inside the shack to save the two boys.
Unfortunately, he did not have enough time to reach a one-year-old baby whose life was claimed by the deadly flames.
