WEBVTT - The Good Things Guy

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Good Things, Good Things with Brenton Lindikey and wrapping up

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the week as always Brent Lindiku the Good Things Guy.

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Hey, what's happening seven o two in Cape Talk Fam,

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm back with some good things this Friday. First up,

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a Stalabush University academic has made South African history. Delisia

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Davids has become the first South African ever selected for

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the prestigious Einstein Fellowship, which is quite something when you

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>realize that only one person in the world is chosen

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 2>each year. The fully funded fellowship is aimed at young

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 2>academics who wants to step outside their usual field and

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 2>explore big, interdisciplinary ideas, much like Albert Einstein himself. And

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>this is the really cool part. Delisha will actually live

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>and work in the garden cottage at Einstein's former summer

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>home in Germany. Early on Sunday morning, people in Betty's

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Bay received word that a marine animal had stranded on

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Silver Sands Beach.

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>It was initially thought to be a.

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Baby humpback well, but renowned zoologist and conservationist Pete Oxford

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>arrived and identified it as something far rarer along our coastline.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Arisso's dolphin. The dolphin was struggling to breathe, and as

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the tide moved further away, things were looking pretty grim.

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>A call for help went out onto Facebook, asking residents

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to come down to the beach, and people arrived in droves.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>They dug a deep trench for the dolphin towards the ocean.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Volunteer firefighters arrived with webbing straps. Others brought it top

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>and together this group of complete strangers managed to physically

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>lift the dolphin and carry it back to the sea.

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Eventually it swam away to safety and finally, an update

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>on a story that so many South Africans have followed.

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Sidney Miller, the man whose life changed after content creator

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Chad Nathan found him alone in a wheelchair during a

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Cape Town storm, has reached another milestone. Sydney has now

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>undergone his second cataract removal procedure, meaning he can quite

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>literally see the.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>New life being built around him more clearly.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 2>The story has become one of those extraordinary examples of

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 2>what can happen when people decide that somebody else's struggle matters.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 2>After Chad first shared his story, more than half a

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>million round was raised with the funds being managed by

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the Angel Network on Sydney's behalf. Since then, organizations, medical

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>professionals and ordinary South Africans have continued stepping.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Forward to help him rebuild his life. And that's it.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.080
