He booked a homeless man a hotel room, then showed him the view
TikToker @bendelport booked Osman, a man who sleeps under a bridge, a hotel room for the night, then showed him his usual spot from the window. Watch the clip and see what Mzansi is saying.
TikToker @bendelport went out one night with a simple plan: find someone sleeping rough and book them a hotel room. He stopped for Osman, a 48-year-old man he says he has often seen sleeping under the same bridge, checked him in and handed him four burgers. The clip, posted on 29 October, has about 23,000 views and more than 2,000 likes.
The best moment comes at the end, when the two stand at the room's window and look down at the spot under the bridge where Osman usually sleeps. Ben reminds him that checkout is at 11:00 the next morning before saying goodbye.
The video doesn't say which city it was filmed in. Briefly News picked up the clip on 30 October, and many viewers are asking Ben to keep helping Osman beyond one night.
