Devin’s life changed when BigManKG gave him R10,000 towards building a better future. Here’s the most wholesome update!

 

Cape Town, South Africa (02 February 2026) – Keegan – known as BigManKG online – is a giver. There’s a good chance you’ve seen his videos. He goes around gifting strangers money. Car guards, students, shoppers, random people in passing, grannies, everyone. He shares that journey online, inspiring others to be givers too.

Devin was homeless when he first met Keegan. We shared his story earlier this month – that he was, at the time, homeless but still working every day to build a better future. He spoke about having no family, and about sleeping at a shelter. He also spoke about helping. Helping others.

His life changed that day, when Keegan gave him R10,000 and told him to put it towards building a better future.

Keegan shared that video online, and the support started pouring in. Some called Devin an inspiration for working to change his life around; some asked how they could help make a difference in his life.

“This is special. Devon is an inspiration for the world. He could be doing bad things but chose to wake up and fight,” shared one commenter.

Keegan listened. He set up an online fundraiser that would aid towards giving Devin a solid foundation to start a meaningful life. In less than one month, R37,000 was raised. Over one hundred supporters rallied together to make it happen.

Last week, Keegan shared the update. And it’s so wholesome – using the money Keegan had already blessed him with, Devin got himself out of the homeless shelter and into proper lodging!

The response from followers was everything. It echoes pride for our beautiful country. For the shared spirit of Ubuntu that shines in moments just like this one.

“I love my country and it’s beautiful people! This is just amazing!” wrote one commenter.

“Bliksem guys. This is my donnerse country and I love these people,” shared another.
