Democratic Alliance MP Phumzile van Damme says her faith in humanity has been restored after an unknown good Samaritan picked up her wedding ring and handed it over to police.
Van Damme took to her Twitter page to explain how distraught she had been at discovering she had lost her ring.
"I cried for a full hour after I couldn’t find my ring in my bag. After a day of bad news‚ I didn’t think I’d ever find my ring again‚ lamenting how unfair the world can be‚" she said.
Van Damme said she headed to the police stationed at the Cape Town International Airport to report the ring missing.
"I went to the police station at CTIA with little hope‚ but‚ there was my ring‚ someone had handed it in. Whoever you are‚ I wish you’d left your details so I could thank you in person. THANK YOU‚" she said.
