How one act of kindness helped a family find their homeless brother
Loading player...
It’s a complicated story like so many aspects of modern life. Relatives of a homeless man in Cape Town, “Luigi”, who’d gone viral for attending a Springbok match thanks to the goodwill of a fan, have since reunited, thanks in part to News24’s Good News coverage. Still, the sisters of the 49-year-old man, whose real name is Alan Strydom, face difficult decisions as he suffers with schizophrenia. Bringing us up to speed with this truly unique story in this edition of The Lead is our Good News editor, Paul Herman. Later in the show, a new survey reveals that trust in the police remains at an all-time low. Finally, Potterheads, rejoice! Hogwarts’ doors are open again with production of a new Harry Potter series in the works.
