Ilan van Staden and Moses Mthembo were born and raised in the same home in Johannesburg, South Africa. As adults, the pair introduce themselves as brothers and each other’s parents as their own. Their story of enduring friendship is inspiring thousands.
“We were raised under the same roof since birth, since [Moses’s] mother was, and is still our domestic worker,” Ilan, 24, told The Epoch Times via email. “She is like my own mother and my parents are like his own family, in a way.”
