Hello Mbambo,

The Golf 5 GTI used to be my husbands little escape and his pride. You could see it in the way he drove it, the way he took care of it. It wasn’t just a car, it was something that belonged to him in a world where most things didn’t.

But life changed.

Now every day, he wakes up and puts everyone else first. He makes sure i have what i need with the kids. That our kids are okay. That the house is running. That there’s food, that things are stable, that nothing is missing. And when something is missing, he finds a way to fill that gap even if it means sacrificing something of his own.

So the Golf 5 had to wait.

At first, it was just small things wrong with it. Things he probably could’ve fixed if life wasn’t so demanding. But every time he thought about it, something more important came up. Something for us, something for our kids.

And without even realizing it, he chose us over and over again.

Now the car just stands there, quiet almost like it understands.

He won’t be able to use my car anymore as i'll be going back to work soon as i've been on maternity leave and that Golf it needs to come back to life.

But this time, it’s not just about getting from point A to point B.

It’s about him.

It’s about giving back to the man who has been giving everything without asking for anything in return. The one who keeps choosing his family, even when it costs him the things he loves.

That GTI Golf 5 isn’t just a broken car.

It’s a reminder of everything he’s put on hold.

Fixing it isn’t just about the car starting again, it’s about him feeling like he can start choosing himself sometimes too.

My name is Tshigomana Zwivhuya, I’m currently stuck because my car needs a service before I can continue working. This car is my livelihood, and without it I have no income.

If you’re able to help with any contribution, no matter how small, I would be very grateful. I’m not asking for luxury — just a chance to get back to work.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

Hey Mambo and Team.

My name is Karabo Monamodi and I am reaching out to request assistance on behalf of my mom. She has a Toyota Run x 2003 160rs. It initially broke down in 2020 and I have been trying to fix it but getting scammed. Finances took a dip once my dad died and I had to take over the responsibility of our household. Besides her having a car to get around and possibly transport my son to school. I want to fix the car for her as a surprise because it was a gift from my dad and the only thing she has left that signifies their love. The problem now that financially I'm struggling I am not able to tend to her one memory of her husband. Trusting you and your team could assist. Attached below is the before and after pics of when I washed it late last year. Physical damage is not bad. Under the bonnet there's alot going on lol. Thanx Guys.

Dear Mumbo Team,

My name is Sifiso Sithole, and I am reaching out to request assistance on behalf of a woman who is striving to make a living for herself and her son. Despite my efforts to support her, her situation remains very challenging, and I wish I had the means to resolve her difficulties.

To provide some background: she is 41 years old and lives alone with her son. Her immediate family members have passed away. She has been earning a living by transporting children to daycare and school. Initially, she used a Polo Vivo, but as the number of children grew, she needed a larger vehicle. On the advice of someone in her transport group, she purchased a Toyota Verso VVTI, believing it would be reliable. Unfortunately, after only a month of use, the car began experiencing numerous mechanical issues, from suspension problems to other costly repairs.

She has tried to manage these repairs with the little income she earns, but it has been a constant struggle. Parents sometimes delay or avoid paying her, leaving her unable to meet her obligations. She often has to borrow money to fix the car, and mechanics continue to identify new issues, draining her financially. I have assisted her where possible, but it has become overwhelming, and I can only imagine how difficult it is for her since this vehicle is her sole source of income.

I would deeply appreciate your support in helping her get the car back in working order so she can continue her business and stabilize her life. Beyond the car, she also needs to repair her living conditions, including buying doors for outside rooms and fixing the roof of her grandmother’s house where she resides.

Your assistance would make a significant difference in her life and help her regain stability for herself and her son.

Thank you for considering this request.

I will share my email

Hi, my name is Aidan Viviers, I’m in a tough situation where I cannot afford basic repairs (two wheels + fuel) to get my car running so I can earn money and support myself by doing local jobs. I heard HMPO helps with automotive assistance. I would be very grateful for any support, advice, or contact of partners/mechanics who can help. Thank you.

Good day Mr. Mumbo and HMPO family,

My name is Thomas, and I am humbly reaching out to youfor help. I currently own a 2017 mazda 3 1.6 dynamic and it has been standing for 1 year and months it got a front accident damage. Sadly I took the car to a local panel beater for repair and he requested that I but all the parts which are needed and I took a loan and bought the parts, he also asked for a deposit and I paid half of the money to him.

I trusted him to repair the car but Sadly, the work was never done till today.A the came a time I went to check the car he told me some of the parts have stolen in the workshop but he will find a way to replace them than fix my car which he never did till today's date I further requested him to refund me and give back my car and parts so that can seek help elsewhere, he's failing to do so.

These issue is truly affecting me and my family a lot and sometimes my wife even thought I'm lying to her.i travel 45km in and out of work most of the time I get without transport, sometimes even get absent from work due to lack of transportation.

I would be grateful for any kind of assistance that Mumbo and the HMPO family can offer

Kind regards

Good day Mr. Mumbo and HMPO family,

My name is Tonny, and I am humbly reaching out for help. My Renault Megane 3 1.4 GT Line has been standing for almost a year after breaking down, and this situation has deeply affected my life and my family.

I trusted a mechanic to repair the car and used the little money I had to buy new valves, a full gasket set, guides, and a timing chain. Sadly, the work was never properly done. Each time I visited, he was either drunk or working on other cars while mine, which arrived first, was ignored. When I finally got the car back, it was leaking oil, smoking badly, and soon showed an “Engine Failure Hazard” warning before losing power completely. I parked it to prevent even more damage.

Since March 2025, the mechanic has been avoiding me. As time passed, things only got worse. The battery is now dead, the alternator brushes are worn, and one tyre is flat.

I am currently unemployed, and whatever little money I get goes straight to feeding my family. Watching the car deteriorate while being unable to fix it has been heartbreaking and stressful.

I would be grateful for any kind of assistance that Mumbo and the HMPO family can offer. I am asking for help with humility and hope.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

Kind regards,

Tonny T. Damane

Dear Mumbo Repairs Team,

I hope you are doing well. My name is Monde, and I am reaching out with a sincere and heartfelt request. My car recently broke down, and I am currently unable to afford the repairs. It has been incredibly stressful and has affected my ability to move around and take care of my responsibilities.

I have been a huge fan of your work for a long time. Your content has not only taught me so much about cars, but it has also given me hope during difficult times. The passion, kindness, and honesty you bring to every video are what inspired me to reach out today.

I know you receive many requests, and I truly respect the work and time you put into helping people. But if there is any way you could assist me—whether through guidance, support, or helping with the repairs—it would mean more to me than I can express. Your help would genuinely change my situation.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I deeply appreciate it.

Warm regards,

Monde
