The man identified as Briggs then went on to pay for the meal of the 7 families that patronised the restaurant that day.

He spent over $2,500 (R35 000).

The restaurant owner whose identity wasn't given said that the man's gesture helped one of the waitresses who was homeless in getting a roof over her head.

The kind man reveals why he showed such kindness

Understanding Compassion narrated that when asked why he showed the kind gesture, the man said:

“I grew up with a single mother of six. We were poor and homeless a lot.

“I watched and suffered for years as I watched her work her hands to the bone to give us a good life. She raised us to be kind and help others. Many years down the road, I was facing prison and getting in trouble. It ended up causing me to lose my family because I was a really terrible person.”
