South Africans were in stitches after a TikTok video showed a man named Bongi being fetched for rehab. Still, instead of resisting, he welcomed his surprise visitors with humour, charm, and a thick English twang that stole the show.

The now-viral clip, posted by user @iamcoffy_zar, captured the moment Mr Moloto and others entered Bongi’s room, hoping to help him take the first step toward recovery. But Bongi, clearly unbothered, switched on his accent, casually engaging with the crew like they were long-lost friends.

“Ng’cela ung’fakele iPlug,” he said with complete calm, asking strangers to help him with a phone charger, as if nothing unusual was going on. His cool demeanour, humour, and confused-but-chilled energy had TikTok users crying with laughter.

Bongi's journey sparks crucial conversations.

While many were amused by Bongi’s performance and one-liners, like mispronouncing Turkish as turquoise, while others reflected on the reality behind the laughs. Bongi, a man struggling with addiction, is being given a second chance, and viewers across Mzansi are rooting for his recovery.

The clip has also sparked meaningful conversations about addiction, mental health, and how society treats struggling individuals. As the video continues to trend, people are calling for updates on Bongi’s journey. Whether it was the accent, the unbothered vibe, or the unexpected humour, Bongi reminded us that even in the darkest times, a little light can shine through, and it often starts with a plug.
