31-year-old Jonathan Goodluck Mzava
a bajaja taxi driver in Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania, made an impression on one
of his passenger who forgot their
laptop in his vehicle.

For his honorable actions the taxi driver is

being nominated for "Good Citizen of the

Year" Award

"After I dropped my passenger around
1pm, I got others… two of them were
students at an international school in
Masaki, then I got another one… and two
more,” he recalls.
Jonathan said: “On my way back to
Shoppers Plaza, I noticed that there was a
parcel on the passenger seat. One thing I
knew for sure was that it wasn’t mine. I
opened it and found a laptop.”
“If felt sorry for whoever might have left
that because I knew the laptop could be
containing valuable, and work documents.
I also knew that he or she probably thought
it was gone for good,” he adds.
Two days later he got a call from the
owner of the laptop and after she
could prove that the forgotten laptop
belonged to her, Jonathan gladly
returned the laptop to its rightful
owner.
“I can’t thank him enough; I just pray for
him to continue like this. I am honestly
happy about his gesture of kindness. I did
not expect that there are still people with
such a big heart in this hectic city,” said
the thankful citizen that preferred to
remain anonymous.
The story of the forgotten laptop
became a viral hit in Tanzania where
many people said that Jonathan
should get the person of the year
award.
