South Africa is about to witness a an 'arranged' wedding, which affairms the power of working together . What started as a joke and a mission on twitter to humiliate the KFC couple turned into a blessing as corporate South Africa pledge different things to ensure that the couple's wedding becomes a success.On 7 November KFC South Africa posted a tweet requesting South Africa to help the them locate the couples who made wedding proposal in one of their stores. "@KFCSA Mzansi please help us find this beautiful couple, re batla ho ba blesser. DM us any leads, there might be a Finger Lickin' Good surprise in it for you too. Batho ba Vaal re thuseng! We love love. #KFCProposal"
The tweet got a resounding response as people and businesses showered the couple with pledge to their wedding.
South Africa is full of love and hopes right now with the Springbok winning, pledges on investment conference and now the KFC wedding or proposal, it is only a question of how long this phase of unity, cohesion and team work will last. South Africa has its own challenges which ranges from in equality, unemployment, load shedding and poor economic growth. One hopes it lasts forever so that we can use the same spirit to tackle poverty, landlessness, crime and poor educational problems.
If everyone fulfill their promises then it will more difficult to fathom how and where the couple will spend their honeymoon or which car they will use on the wedding day since competitors in the corporate South Africa are trying hard to out do each other.
One can not rule out the opportunists who would hijack this nice gesture into a PR stunt, which is important for the organisers to follow up each and every pledge made. What we must take into cognisance is that a pledge is pledge and not binding, so there will always be an element of criminals who would come and say I will do this, that and the other just to get applause on twitter or in a gathering. Like it always happens when you attend family gethering, they are those who are talkative and always promise the world but do not show up when the real work begins.
The lessons we take from this, is that love is powerful and does not cost a thing and that God always comes through. If you have something to say, Clik comment button to add you view.
