A simple act of kindness turned into a viral moment after a South African businessman surprised a delivery driver with a generous cash tip. TikTok user @crossonnnnnn, who runs a business, shared the video on 5 February 2026 after ordering three boxes of pizza. When the delivery driver arrived, he explained that his car was refusing to start, leaving him stressed and unsure of what to do next. Instead of just taking the food and moving on, the customer stepped outside and handed the driver R2,000 in cash to help him fix the problem.
