About us
Brent Lindeque pioneered the #ChangeOneThing movement which went viral internationally. Its a simple premise that YOU have the power to change everything.
Host of a radio show called "The Good Stuff" on CliffCentral, founder of www.goodthingsguy.com, face of a couple of really good charities, MC for good causes & an all round good guy.
Before Good Things Guy, the online Good News site was born, Brent Lindeque did something. What started as a simple idea to try and better one persons day, turned into a global event carried out by millions of people. The ‘RAK initiative’ was all about giving back & helping those in need.
It all started when Brent Lindeque, a young South African, turned the reckless drinking game Neknominations on its head – by using his nomination to instead perform a random act of kindness. By giving a homeless man a R20 meal, and using the power of social media to “pay-it-forward” his nomination went viral and to date has been featured locally on Carte Blanche, Espresso, 5Fm, eNCA, News24, Radio702 and internationally on Mashable, Huffington Post, CNN, BBC, Sky News, Oprah and even Ellen Degeneres to name a few.
Lindeque saw himself becoming a LeadSA Hero, was selected as one of Africa’s most promising Entrepreneurs and also chosen as one of the prestigious Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans.
More importantly, his small act of kindness spawned hundreds and thousands of similar videos, reaching and physically improving millions of lives and in addition creating 3 dedicated feeding schemes in Canada, the USA and Ireland that are still running to this day.

Wandile N. asked:Hi IKAGS Can someone please advise. There's an old man (looks like hes 75- 80 years old) who has been sleeping the petrol station next to our offices since Wednesday last week. He doesn't seem to know where he lives. Looks very frail and walks with assistance. The lady who found him went to the police station and was told to write an affidavit and a social worker would attend to him. This hasn't happened and it is now Monday. Emergency services were called and they did not do anything but give him bubble wrap. I have also contact two old age homes and was told the ambulance needs to take him to a hospital. I have since then contacted the local government emergency services and they haven't arrived. Currently he is sleeping at the car wash which is not in use. The manager/owner has given him food. And tried to find a place on Google but no help has arrived. I want to help but don't know what to do. Can anyone advise? Or if there is anyone that can assist him please inbox me or reply on the group. Please help me help him. God Bless!Kerry B. replied:Could you please post a picture in the comments of this post, so whoever wants to can share it on their page? Someone like Pam Green, Stephen from Charity Begins With Me, or Brent Lindeque may be able to point you in the right direction of someone who may be able to help. https://www.facebook.com/BrentLindeque/ https://www.facebook.com/Charity-Begins-With-Me-844591245625986/
