For the month of February, IOL is inviting our readers to tell us who they love and why to stand a chance of winning amazing prizes in our #MyHeart competition.
Our next winner is Achumile Ngantweni, who submitted the following entry:
My BFF Ndyebo Lupondo - my therapist, public relations officer, my bodyguard, my strategic problem solver and my brother from another mother.
He'd be there as a cardiologist whenever I have heartaches. He would be there whenever I need him to help. Regardless of what he does at work, he still maintains the position of being my best friend forever and my brother.
The best friend forever description is endless because he never expects a 13th cheque, salary increase or anything for helping me out. He knows my ins and outs, left right and center. He keeps me collected at all times and I sometimes feel like he is beyond just the best friend but more like a father figure to me.
I wish everyone out there had the same person they call BFF to be like mine. I will always owe him big time, endlessly. I always talk to God to keep him for me and my family until we grow up and enjoy double dates with our wives.
Regards
Achumile Ngantweni
