Fans were given the opportunity to have their goods delivered by the Homecoming actor. All they had to do was order a traditional meal for R124.99 using a promo code and stand the chance to have their food delivered by King Dingiswayo himself.

Reflecting on the gesture meant to commemorate Heritage Month, the grocery platform thanked Thembinkosi for helping make it possible.

"From doorstep smiles to shared moments, this experience reminded us why we do what we do. Thank you, Thembinkosi, for bringing the spirit of heritage and community to life with us."

Previously, Mthembu made another gracious gesture by agreeing to be his fan's matric farewell date. The actor visited the young lady at the hospital, where she spent her farewell day due to her illness, and made the day special for her.

Online supporters were equally shocked at the wholesome moments in the delivery video, not to mention the reactions from the fans.
