“We Have Lost the Spirit of Ubuntu”: Man’s Fainting Prank on Shoppers Backfires

• A man on TikTok shared a video of himself walking in a busy shopping mall and pretending to faint
• As he lay on the ground, many people passed him, not lending the 'sick' man a helping hand
• Members of the online community were surprised by the lack of compassion people showed, even though it was a prank

Laughter switched to concern in a man's comment section after internet users noticed people did not show compassion after the guy pretended to faint.

Content creator Xolani Tyaliti Mboniswa, who uses the handle @xolanityaliti4 on TikTok, took to his account to show the prank he tried to pull on shoppers at a local mall.

The man, wearing a long-sleeved white top and pink shorts, was recorded from behind. He walked past a few people before falling to the ground. As he lay on the floor, shoppers casually walked on and looked at the man, not stopping to help and carrying on with their day.
