The announcement of Lindeqye comes in light of the Random Acts of Kindness Week, held between Sunday, 13 February to Saturday, 19 February. 

Innovate Publishing says that its mission is to showcase and connect the top 100 innovation success stories from cities around the world.

The site says, "South Africa's news feeds are filled with hard news, stories of murder, corruption, robberies and failing state-owned enterprises. Is there a space for good news — and do South Africans have an appetite for it?"

The site adds, "Brent Lindeque founded the Good Things Guy on Saturday, 1 August 2015 to change the national conversation to bring a balanced view and perception of South Africa for South Africans through inspirational stories and good news." 

"Being recognised internationally is always incredibly humbling and exciting," says Lindeque. "When the initial Neknomination drinking games began in South Africa, I knew that we had to do better. I turned the drinking game concept on its head and instead created the 'Random Acts of Kindness' movement back in 2015." 

"I'm still grateful every day that I have a job that I love and that allows me to spread love and kindness — not only in South Africa but around the globe," adds Lindeque. 

InnovationsoftheWorld.com says, "South Africans have proven their appetite for good news and inspirational stories with their support of the Good Things Guy. Lindeque has also created a team of journalists and storytellers to help him craft and shape their message of positivity and kindness to the world."

"For me, the 'Random Acts of Kindness' initiative should be a daily movement, 365 days a year," Lindeque concludes.
