RMF waitress set to buy place near mom after online fundraisers net over R130,000

This from timeslive.co.za:

A R50 donation that snowballed into a social media fundraising campaign for a Cape Town waitress has delivered R44,777 to the woman who was humiliated by #RhodesMustFall activist Ntokozo Qwabe.

Sihle Ngobese handed R50 to Ashleigh Schultz‚ 23‚ when he tracked her down at Obz Cafe in Observatory‚ after hearing how Qwabe and a friend‚ Wandile Dlamini‚ had reduced her to tears last week.

Instead of leaving her a tip‚ Dlamini wrote on their bill:”We will give tip when you return the land.”

• On Rhodes must Fall – and why you should treat your waiter or waitress well 

Ngobese‚ who is the spokesperson for Western Cape Social Development MEC Albert Fritz but made the gesture in his personal capacity‚ and a friend Roman Cabanac‚ who hosts a CliffCentral podcast‚ launched a Twitter fundraising campaign for Schultz.

• Huge ‘tip’ raised for waitress ‘bullied’ by RMF leader 

He confirmed on Tuesday that the funds were on their way to Schultz‚ whose mother has cancer.
