WATCH: Caspar Lee offers Knysna student full bursary

Cape Town - British-South African YouTube sensation Casper Lee has given back to his hometown Knysna, by paying for a student's school fees.

In his latest video the vlogger starts off by telling his fans that he went to a good school in South Africa. He explains that his family was unable to pay the school fees but he received a full academic scholarship. 

The 23-year-old had recently been thinking about how he could spend his money. "Nothing would be more rewarding to me that providing someone else in the town I grew up in with the same opportunity that I was given," he says.

After working with the school he selected Indiphile Witbooi as the recipient of the bursary.

In the video we see footage of Indiphile being given the news in front of her friends. "I am so grateful for this, it's been a big impact on my life," she says.
