Boys get free food at Pick n Pay

Two South African boys got the chance to meet Keegan Gordon at a Pick n Pay store. The chap often blesses people from Mzansi with amusing prizes and money for just following him on social media. 

Gordon offered the two boys a chance to pick a R1000 or a one-minute shopping spree. The youngsters chose the shopping spree.

They held tight to the trolley and ran around the store trying to find some of their favourite snacks. One of the boys assured Gordon:

“I’m going to waste your money, I won’t lie.”

Gordon laughed at the numerous boys who collected multiple boxes of pizza, tubs of ice cream, sweets, and more treats. While they were filling up the trolley, Gordon blessed a random person with R1000 just for following him on social media.

The boys bought food valued at a little over R1500 and also received R1000. They were ecstatic about the purchase and thanked Gordon for what he did for them:

“You’re actually such a cool guy.”

TikTok’s BigmanKG turns kindness viral

Keegan Gordon, better known online as BigmanKG, is a South African content creator who has built a massive following by turning everyday generosity into viral entertainment. He is mainly active on TikTok, where he has about 2.9 million followers and more than 20 million likes.

Gordon films short, high‑energy clips in which he surprises strangers with cash, groceries, or playful “R1 000 or one minute to fill a trolley?” challenges. His feel‑good style spilt over to YouTube and Instagram, lifting his cross‑platform reach to roughly 6 million fans.

Gordon’s breakout moment came in October 2024, when a video of him paying a street vendor R3,000 for a R2 lollipop rocketed past 900,000 views and drew praise across South Africa for highlighting “pay‑it‑forward” kindness.

He frames such acts as a way to “make giving go viral,” often encouraging recipients to pass the goodwill on. Offline, Gordon runs Gold Tripod Media, a small digital‑content studio in Johannesburg that supports local creators and charity drives.

At just 23, the self‑styled “Big Man of Kindness” has turned simple street interactions into a recognised brand.

@𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐀𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐀 wondered:

“Where's the meat?”

@KARABO shared:

“I just realised now I’m old, I was shouting for them to go to the meat.”

“These kids annoyed me.”

@Sitha Z🧸 wrote:

@Angelic Taq said:

“When I was a kid, even when we didn't have meat, I would daydream/imagine eating or having all those kinds of nice snacks.”

@Profitsculptor pointed out:

“This reminds me of the kid who filled the trolley with basics for the family. In short, people live different lives.”
