A Fidelity security officer from Umhlabuyalingana in KwaZulu-Natal did not think twice when a stranger asked him for money. He had R10 left on him and nothing more. He gave it without blinking.

Content creator Ali Boy, who goes by @aliboy_boss on TikTok, drove up to the guard at his post on 4 April 2026. Ali Boy explained that he needed R10 to sort out a parking ticket and asked the guard if he could help. The guard told him straight that the money was all he had to get a taxi after his shift ended. He dug into his pocket and handed it over anyway.

The guard had no idea what was about to happen

Ali Boy looked at the guard and told him the ask was never really about parking. It was a test to see what kind of person he was when nobody owed him anything. The guard had passed without even knowing. Ali Boy then pulled out R2,000 in cash and placed it in the guard’s hands. The guard stood there in disbelief.

South Africans were not all celebrating what they saw

The reaction online was louder than the gesture itself. South Africans poured into the comments section. Some of them were not there to celebrate the guard. A significant number of people were convinced that Ali Boy was not doing an act of kindness at all. They believed he was using the money exchange to drain the guard’s luck through dark magic.

Ali Boy films himself handing money to people over and over again. Many viewers believe the giveaways are part of a ritual designed to benefit him spiritually at the expense of whoever receives the cash.

“There goes his luck, poor guy. 🙆🫩”

"Shame, he's fired because of that.😢 Company rules don’t allow taking money from a client. 😢”
