“Someone Help Me Find This Guy”: Man Caught Munching KFC Leftovers, SA Divided

• A man was caught on camera nibbling on leftover KFC from a chair next to him in a public space
• The clip was posted on Facebook and showed the guy sneaking a bite before realising he was being filmed
• Many people online felt sorry for him, with many offering help, while others debated whether it was real or staged

Sometimes hunger hits hard, and you do what you've got to do. One man went viral after being seen sneaking a bite of what looked like someone's leftover food.

The clip was shared on Facebook by Lifalakhe EllTee Thwala, showing the guy snacking on a leftover KFC box before walking off after spotting the camera.

The man is caught mid-bite on camera

The clip shows the man sitting on a bench with a KFC next to him. At first, he pretends like he's chilling, then slowly checks around to see if anyone is watching. Thinking he's in the clear, he pulls the box closer to him and checks to see if anyone is watching him before taking a bite.

Things take a turn when he glances to his right and realises a camera is filming him. His body language shifts fast. He gets up and awkwardly walks away while trying to hide his face. The whole vibe changes from chilled to being caught in the act.
