Peter Opali, aka Most Wanted, gives back
Helping the less fortunate
COBIE BOK -
Most nights, the average Namibian has food to eat, clothes to wear and a warm bed to sleep in, but not all have that privilege.
Winter is here, at the dismay of many of those rough sleepers who call the streets their home.
“Due to the extreme cold, I got very sick one year and it made me think about the people on the streets that have far less than I have. So as I woke up that morning and prayed, God told me to help them and so I did,” Peter Opali recalls.
Since many benefactors support old-age homes and orphanages, Peter decided to physically go into the dark corners under bridges and in the bush to find the people that most of society has forgotten.
“These are the people I want to help, because nobody thinks of them,” he says.
So, between a busy schedule of spinning and running his private business, Peter, his brother Emmanuel, their friends and associates have taken it upon themselves to collect donations to be handed over to the homeless of Windhoek.
Their latest campaign will see Peter collecting donations until this evening, which will be distributed from Monday.
“I believe I will help a lot more people, because God has given me a calling to help the nation,” says Peter.
Until then people can expect to see Peter Opali, aka Most Wanted, perform at Tsumeb on 30 June with both his spin cars in action.
