Update
MOSSELBAAI NUUS - Zathan McCarthy (21) gaan die uitsonderlike fooitjie wat hy by 'n Amerikaanse aktrise tydens haar besoek aan Delfino's Resturant op Mosselbaai gekry het, belê.
McCarthy het op Donderdag, 11 November 'n allermintige fooitjie van meer as R94 000 by die besoeker, Marsia Kimpton ontvang.
Nadat die Mosssel Bay Advertiser verlede Vrydagoggend hierdie nuusbrokkie op hulle aanlynnuus-platforms gebreek het, het sosiale media behoorlik aan die gons gegaan. Binnekort, het ander mediahuise ook van die meevallertjie te hore gekom en so het goeie nuus vir 'n verandering soos 'n veldbrand versprei.
Kimpton het tydens haar eerste onderhoud met die media eksklusief aan die Advertiser gesê dat sy gevoel het sy kan dit bekostig om die fooitjie te betaal. Boonop, het sy gehou van hoe McCarthy haar tafel tydens hulle ete bedien het. Sy is tans in Suid-Afrika vir filmwerk.
Kimpton het op die betrokke dag vir McCarthy gesê sy wil hom seën. Sy het gevra of hy ander ook sal seën, waarna McCarthy besluit het om die geld onder die personeel wat saam met hom aan diens was, te verdeel.
Hyself het R6 000 geneem en nog 'n gedeelte van die fooi gaan volgens hom vir moontlike studies aangewend word.
"Ek wil dit verdubbel en gaan dit dus belê," het hy die afgelope week tydens 'n onderhoud met die Advertiser by sy ouerhuis op Mosselbaai gesê.
Sy pa, Jonathan sê daar kan nie 'n geldwaarde gekoppel word aan sy seun se onbaatsugtige daad nie.
"Hy het met sy vrygewigheid vir ander gesinne ook 'n eksta inkomste gegee."
Jonathan sê as inwoners van Mosselbaai vra hulle dikwels of daar nog iets goeds uit Mosselbaai kan kom. Juis omdat mense so negatief gestem is vanweë die Covid-19-pandemie en die impak wat dit emosioneel en finansieël op inwoners het.
"Kan daar nog so iets gebeur? Dít is 'n vraag wat ons al so baie gevra het. En die antwoord is ja, want dit hét gebeur."

Na bewering het nóg 'n kelner wat by Delfino's werk 'n gelukskoot gehad toe 'n voertuig aan haar geskenk is, aldus die restaurant se bestuurder, Johan Coetzee. Die vrou het by navraag verkies om nie kommentaar te lewer nie.
About Marcia Kimpton
Marcia Kimpton
Even during a pandemic, producer, director, and actress Marcia Kimpton explores the globe to deliver humor when it’s needed most.
Cape Town, South Africa (November 15, 2021) - Whether she’s swimming with sharks, biking through the vineyards of France, or hiking in the mountains of Colorado, “An American Abroad” is a television series unlike anything on the air.
This “scripted” reality series showcases some of the most sought-after destinations across the globe. “I feel like the luckiest person on earth,” says Kimpton, who not only stars in the series, but also co-wrote, directed and produced this 11-episode adventure.
“I know so many people are afraid to travel right now, but we have been able to see the most incredible countries, meeting all walks of life, and we’re doing it during a pandemic. We have defied the odds!”
Some of the chosen destinations include Thailand, India, Morocco, the Netherlands, Turkey (Cappadocia and Istanbul), Greece (Hydra and Patmos), France (Beaune), and Portugal (Lisbon). Marcia and her crew of 13 have spent the summer and fall of 2021 traveling for the first time in a year and a half. In the post-pandemic world, “An American Abroad” will encourage travel to locations that rely heavily on tourism. “There are so many places that need things to open back up in order to survive, and we are going to travel the world to showcase the best of the best,” says Kimpton, who incorporates humor, and interviews with locals to capture the essence of each town she visits. “I was just hanging with rhinos and Cape buffalo in South Africa. I sipped chardonnay at the hottest nightclub in Amsterdam. And I’m just getting started.”
Marcia is a filmmaker, writer, director, producer and actress based in Aspen, Colorado after living in Chicago, New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles for many years.
In addition she is a late night host, and co-host of the Climb Podcast. She recently directed, wrote, produced, and acted in the film BARDO BLUES, which has won over 40 awards. The film was launched in theaters in May 2019 in NYC, LA, and San Francisco and has been distributed by Freestyle Digital Media on all digital platforms. Planet M Productions is her personal production company through which many of her projects have been produced and then dispersed. Recent releases include AN AMERICAN IN AMSTERDAM QUARANTINED and BARDO BLUES.
“An American in Amsterdam” was a labor of love, which Marcia hopes will bring to light the many social issues facing our society today. Marcia has also written her memoir ESCAPING HOLLYWOOD BARDO that is currently being sold on Amazon. Her background TV career was in San Francisco as a KTVU-Fox Entertainment/Comedy Reporter and a late night host on KGO-ABC
