A generous spirit extends beyond one's means to give. This simple yet powerful philosophy was the overarching message in a widely-viewed TikTok video showing a man preparing a hearty meal.

Not long after, the account user, @savage.shayan, is seen driving around, parking and giving home-cooked meals to poor, homeless people — likely their first of the day.

"Sometimes those who give the most are the ones with the least to spare — Mike McIntyre."
In the video, which has nearly one million views, Savage Sayanza is seen cooking rice and a chicken neck stew with carrots, potatoes, beef soya mince and a generous sprinkle of spices.
After dishing up the food in polystyrene clamshell takeaway containers, he neatly loads it into his car and drives to his intended destination.
There, the generous soul gives a plate to each person coming up to him.
At some point, he steps out of the car and hands more people food, some of whom had been wrapped in blankets to shield themselves from the cold weather in the street.
Mzansi feeling warm and fuzzy
