Zuhaib Abbas Bangash knows what its like to be hungry that's why. every Sunday, the food at his kebab shop in Glen Eden is free for anyone who can't pay. Zuhaib says its simple. "These people need food, and I have it.- It started when a man came into the shop and asked for something to eat. Zuhaib said yes. The man came back. Other came, too. Word spread that Zuhaib gave to anyone who couldn't afford it. Eventually, he decided to make it a regular thing and help anyone who asked. He began to post on social media — and that's When a few local shop owners complained. "They weren't happy with what I was doing,- Zuhaib remembers. They worried all the homeless people in Auckland would come, and they didn't want that. they thought their businesses might suffer." The story was all over the news, but Zuhaib didn't want to stop. He couldn't see how giving away was bad for local business community. - Hungry people aren't bad people- he says.
