Sayed Mia uses his abilities to help others

PHILANTHROPIST Mr Sayed

Mia was among the top 50 to be honoured with the title “Influential Personalities of South Africa 2021”.

It was Albert Schweitzer who once offered these profound words: “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know.The only ones among you who will truly be happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”

His award is indeed a tribute to a true citizen of the world, extraordinary humanitarian and practitioner of reverence for human dignity.The impact of his decades of devoted public service is evident in the worthy causes he lifted up as a patron.

He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude and unbending integrity of the nation he represented. His exceptional example of service, constancy and patriotism is envied by many. He has proven over many years that true partnership has room for both ambition and selflessness, all in the service of something greater. His dedication reminds me of what another global philanthropist, Mr Mohamed Amersi, once said: “We need the humility to see the world as it is, and the audacity to imagine the world as it could be.”

Sayed Mia has committed his life to community development and helping vulnerable people. His philanthropic endeavours are too numerous to mention. His devotion to giving remains unmatched. A beloved philanthropist who devotes himself to extensive charity work that reaches out to numerous people in need.

Let us have a bird’s eye view of the services to mankind by this angel in the camouflage of a human being. Over the past four decades he has been serving the nation quietly. From education to donating and sponsoring scholarships for poor students, his achievements are marvellous.

An illustrious and a compassionate philanthropist, who has a passion not only dedicated to one realm but many.The award is a tribute for his selfless service towards society amid the pandemic and for an exemplary display of grit and utmost dedication. Sayed Mia is a man of extraordinary range and determination to use his abilities to help others.

Many have benefited from his goodwill gesture and wealth, either directly or indirectly. He continues to provide budgetary succour for the downtrodden. He remains the iconic grassroots ambassador of the 21st century.

A perennial symbol of individual excellence.

May our Lord bless him with good health and allow him many more years to serve humanity.
