Some social media users found it unnecessary that the guy took photos of the groceries and his grandmother other than just gifting the elder without the presence of a camera. In the end, some people applauded the chap for his good heart.

The gent posted his pictures with the caption:

“So I decided to buy groceries for my gogo. The woman who raised me. It's emotional to see her crying in front of me. I'm so emotional. I love you Skhangane.”

Youngster shared reason behind his good deed

Sbahle Zikhali explained to Briefly News why he had to go all out for his grandmother:

“Well, the reason behind all of this was to thank my grandma for raising me and my siblings since she was struggling a lot while raising us. So I realised that I should buy her something that is going to make her proud of me. Then I bought her groceries from Shoprite-Checkers. Mind you, I'm 18 years old. I finished school last year.”

“You want us to applaud a fish for swimming?”

@Nzimani Sithole pointed out:

“You didn't do it for your granny, but you did it for social media, shame on you.”

@Nkululeko Braino Ngubane wrote:

“This means you only buy her groceries once in a while, that's why she's crying because she can’t believe it.”

@Mofokeng Polao said:

“You did what was necessary, chief there's nothing amazing about this.”

@Koketso Arnold Mogotlane explained:

“We do this, almost every time we come home and you won't see us getting emotional. This boy needs to do this more often so that gogo can stop crying every time she sees him buy food.”
