WATCH SA Singer Jeremy Olivier Surprises Big Issue Seller with Amazing Gift

South African singer Jeremy Olivier yesterday surprised an amazing Western Cape man, who sells the Big Issue, with an incredible gift – his eight-seater Nissan van!

It’s been a dream of the 2016 The Voice SA contestant and his wife Nicole’s for five years, ever since they first met Bongani… who usually works at the King of Kings/ Longbeach Mall robots in Cape Town.

In a video that’s going viral, Jeremy says Bongani is such an “amazing guy, such a cool oke”, and that Nicole had told Bongani years ago that when they got a new car, they were going to give Bongani’ their old one.

“Recently we were hugely blessed with our sponsors getting us a beautiful H1 van, which is what we’ve dreamed of for a long time,” says Jeremy. “So we’re being blessed, and you know that’s how the world turns around – you can bless others…”

Bongani’s response is beautiful…

The Olivier family is well known to SAPeople followers. Jeremy captured our hearts with his 2014 song – ‘Beautiful’ – written by his wife, about their adopted son who was abandoned at birth.

A couple of months ago Jeremy partnered with SAPeople to promote his brilliant (and aptly named) album ‘Changing World’ – and he gave away a dream trip to Cape Town (won by a nurse in London).

The Oliviers are renowned in Cape Town for constantly striving to change the world for the better. SAPeople follower ‎Vivian Van Eeden said on Saturday afternoon: “Cannot say enough how phenomenal the Olivier Family are! And Bongani so well deserved ? #payitforward true spirit that we can all aspire to, no matter how small the gesture!”

Jeremy thanked the generosity of their sponsors – Cow Hills Retail – for enabling them to “do what we have dreamed of doing for five years”.

He said it was “a very special moment” and that “Bongani was speechless for once! ???❤️”.

Jeremy adds: “Bongani had gone out and gotten his driver’s license in faith. Had been trying to save for a car for a long time.

“As LIRA always says…be ready!!! ??”
