In an interview with the People’s Paper, the nurse revealed she holds the belief that nurses should always give hope to their patients, something which is more effective than pills.

Gumede held that whenever she is setting out in the morning, she always plans to create an environment where everyone is lively, specifically her patients.

Her colleague, Zama Mazeka, attested to the fact that she always makes everyone happy whenever she is present in the hospital.

“This is my mother. Every day is bright with her around. I consider myself blessed and lucky to spend 40 hours every week with her. It’s always nice being at Philani Clinic I’m telling you,”  she said.

After the video was shared online, she took to social media to thank everyone for appreciating her work.

She wrote:

 

“Thanks all of you. Sometimes you do something routinely and without thinking and you are surprised of the positive impact on other people. I do this almost everyday because there’s always something in me that wishes to reach the hearts of the sick person and make him feel wanted and loved and laugh the pain away, whether physical or emotional pain”.
