In today's Big Favour, we meet Pravashini Nayager, who has nominated her colleague Bheki Mdluli. 

Bheki lost everything due to the KZN Floods. 

Have a listen to Part 1 of this tragic story:

Bheki is currently living in a tiny outside toilet space where he's cooking and sleeping in this area as well. 

Due to the massive heartbreak of the floods destroying his home, he was forced to send his family away until he could rebuild his home.

As a delivery driver, he tries to make ends meet by giving what he earns to his family. 

Bheki earns less than R9,000 per month. With that amount, he has to support his wife, children, his mum, and sisters. 

As the sole bread winner of his family, things are incredibly tough. 

Bheki has been working tirelessly to rebuild but cannot do this due to lack of finances.
