Telvin Mburu, a matatu tout who helped save a woman's life after a medical emergency, engaged in a heartfelt moment with the woman that ended up in him shedding tears on live television.

While recounting the day's events on NTV's Fixing the Nation show on Wednesday, Mburu received a pleasant surprise after the woman who, through his heroics, managed to live another day, dialed in to express her gratitude.  Mburu narrated how he was just going about his normal business during the rush hour on Friday, April 4, when a female passenger who was experiencing breathing complications alerted him to the situation.

For Mburu, it was an incident that hit harder as he lost his mother due to negligence, and thus, the call to help the woman was one that had a personal attachment.

The aftermath of his actions resulted in netizens hailing him as a hero after the woman took to her social media to thank him and his fellow crew members.
