So Much South African Love for Promise the Gardener, It Crashes His New Website

After a post by Capetonian sports enthusiast and journalist, Brad Brown – about a brilliant self-motivated gardener called Promise – went viral yesterday… Promise became so popular and in demand with the South African public, that the website Brad created for him, crashed!

Brad wrote: “It seems all the love has crashed the server…”

Here’s the message Brad wrote which caused the love:

“If there is one thing I love, it is people who make things happen. I met Promise a year ago. He knocked on my door, introduced himself, told me my grass needed cutting and asked if he could take care of it.

“He told me not to worry, he has the tools he needs and won’t take long. Two hours later my garden was in tip top shape. He’s been taking care of my garden ever since. He is brilliant.

“Promise lives in Khayelitsha and catches a taxi into Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs every morning. He stores his bicycle and tools at another client’s house where he collects it every morning and hits the streets, looking for work.

“I often ask Promise how business is and he tells me how he is just managing to get by. Some days are better than others he says. Some days he gets to take care of 4 gardens, other days he heads home having not done 1.

“Promise is dead keen to work. I can vouch for him and want to put it out there, if anyone in the Plumstead, Wynberg, Kennilworth, Constantia area needs someone to take care of their garden, please give Promise a call.

“Our business has smashed together a little website for him and we’re running some really targeted Facebook ads in the hope that we can get his phone ringing more often.”
