We have all had a nasty brush with makangas that leaves a nasty taste in our mouths.

We all have that tale of misadventure in matatus that make us shake our heads and damn them all to hell.

Well, a city woman identified as Julie Waweru narrates how one matatu driver went against the grain and proved that indeed there are good people in the industry.

Julie writes: "My yesterday did end very well. As I left Limuru around 7pm on board Likabu Sacco matatu I forgot my phone in the mat. As usual, panic mode when I alighted, having realised I had left my phone, I picked a boda boda to chase the mat, after like 3km I realised this was futile, asked my rider to take about turn. He wondered why I had given up, as he was all set for a chase. I told the rider its OK, thanked him and informed him I knew I would get it today. This kinda shocked the boda guy.....cheekily he says "ningependa kujua vile utaifuata" haha I told him I know God will make it possible to get it back."

She continued, "Around 8.30pm while in my house, I was driven to Kiamba town, I didn't find it, I promised myself to try follow up today morning.

Good news I went to kiambu town, matatu stage....didn't have the vehicle registration No, so I had to hassle to trace, as I tried narrating to one of the route manager, I drew some attention.... Among them one Eliud Njoroge the driver whose vehicle I was onboard yesternight he breaks the good news....he had kept my phone safely & had even charged abit this morning. I got my phone back, am thankful to God.

I celebrate this driver and among others that are kind to their passengers. Help me celebrate ELIUD NJUGUNA!"

Kenyans also retold their tales...

Gitu Ngugi: I lost my phone in July this year and someone returned it to me. Even when I reported to Safaricom they were sceptical I would not get it. I told them good people exist. Let's keep celebrating Eliud and others alike

Jon Kirui Bomet: Travellers Sacco. Our neighbour sent Mursik in 5ltr Jerrycan to her daughter studying in Nairobi, by the time they were parking in Mfangano behind Afya centre, the Jerrycan was empty.......Matatu crew drank it clean.! Kindly ask the Sacco to offer induction to our Sacco.

Meshack Samson Maina: Good people exist... I once dropped my phone at parking and drove off, luckily i did not smash it, the next person who occupied the parking space collected it and started calling people from my phone book trying to trace me, finally after like 1hr I got my phone back.

Esther Wacuka: I wish the same happened to me...I lost very very crucial documents original n copies I had just left an office which needed them I dropped them in my plying Gachie. I tried to search even at the terminus but to no avail...the bitter part was, the documents had at least 3 telephone numbers .....

Zipporah Kungu: Honest Kenyan. I lost mine in a mat the person who picked it called my colleagues and said was in Kidfarmaco but the guy gave to his aunt who had no phone. In the process, I lost the phone.The ma3 guys denied e ever seeing the phone Nkt!

Winnie Ashers Mum: Honesty is a great virtue, it pays off Eliud God will reward u mightily soon, keep the fire burning brother.

Cate Kibata: A big challenge to all of us, honesty is beautiful......very encouraging good people still exist......kudos Mr Eliud......

Winnie Belinda Wiwanka: That is a unique driver God bless.
