The feel-good encounter unfolded at a Shell garage in Estcourt, KwaZulu-Natal, on January 25, 2026, and has since touched thousands across South Africa.

NtokozojoydubekwaMfana, whose real name is Ntokozo Dube, shared on Facebook that he was travelling back to Johannesburg when he pulled into the filling station, unaware that the workers recognised him from his widely followed social media content. Instead of a routine refuel, the attendants went the extra mile, quickly cleaning his car, checking the water, and turning the brief stop into a moment filled with gratitude and respect.

They shared that his consistent messaging around hygiene, self-care and maintaining one’s space had encouraged them to take better care of themselves.
