A powerful moment of generosity unfolded online after TikTok user @dj13een shared a video on 25 January 2026 highlighting how mining tycoon My Sol stepped in to help a man battling kidney failure. The video focused on 31-year-old Johannes Marumong, who had taken to a public platform asking people to tag My Sol in hopes of getting assistance with the high cost of his dialysis treatment. His plea gained traction, eventually reaching the businessman, who paid the full R650,000 required for Johannes’s dialysis.
Dialysis remains one of the most financially draining medical treatments in South Africa, especially for people without comprehensive medical aid. Many patients are forced to rely on public hospitals with long waiting lists, while others turn to crowdfunding and social media to survive. Johannes’s story reflects the reality faced by many South Africans living with chronic illness, where survival often depends on community support rather than systems designed to protect them.
Acts of generosity that restore faith
The video by user @dj13een gained rapid attention online, with viewers drawn to how a simple social media plea turned into life-changing assistance. People connected with the vulnerability of Johannes’s request and the speed at which My Sol responded once he became aware of the situation. The moment felt raw and unscripted, showing the real power of digital platforms when they reach the right people.
