They say charity begins at home, but whoever said that must have forgotten to mention that it shouldn\u2019t stay there.<\/p>\n
One of the wealthiest footballers in country, Kaizer Chiefs\u2019 Khama Billiat, in a bid to give back to the community, started a foundation named after him, which has so far donated sports equipment, laptops, and food to the underprivileged both in Zimbabwe and South Africa.<\/p>\n
What has triggered a lot of debate however is the 29-year-old former Ajax Cape Town winger\u2019s decision to extend his hand to the needy in South Africa before the Rainbow Nation\u2019s coronavirus-enforced 21-day lockdown which started on Friday.<\/p>\n
Some feel he should have also extended his hand to Zimbabwe since supposedly South Africa is better equipped and more prepared for this crisis, while others defended him for sticking to the Rainbow Nation because that is where his bread is buttered hence it\u2019s logical for it to benefit more.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think people are just having an unnecessary sense of entitlement, to a point where they want to manage other people\u2019s personal incomes. Before we criticize Khama, let\u2019s ask ourselves this simple question; who monitors what we do with our personal incomes?,\u201d said Bruce Moyo in an interview with Soccer24.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people who are accusing Billiat have bought more groceries for their in-laws than their own parents ahead of this lockdown, but I doubt Khama has questioned their behaviors. After all, we all know that the said player has been doing some charity work here in Zimbabwe, let us appreciate that. Let people do what they want with their income,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Nobert Basvi, a stauch CAPS United fan, echoed Moyo\u2019s words.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn as much as we say charity begins at home, I strongly believe that Khama is working and donating stuff back home me his own time. Remember, he donated to people who live in South Africa and some of them are Zimbabweans even so.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt starts from where you are then it spreads, lets give him time the say staff latter if he fails to donate, after all its his money he can do whatever he wants with it. Those who are saying why S.A before Zimbabwe what have they done to the vulnarable in their communities?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
