October 17, 2019, marked a special day for Mokgomotsi Derick Kibiti, a South African doctor who took to Facebook to celebrate his service to his community.
He posted a photo of himself at work in the Facebook group #ImStaying, where he expressed his love for his job and his decision to stay in the country.
However, his post quickly went viral, with many South Africans, especially women, focusing more on his good looks than his dedication to his work.
According to his Facebook profile, Kibiti studied at the University of the Free State before furthering his studies in Havana, Cuba.
His photo was met with a mix of admiration and flirtation, with some users suggesting he could be a candidate for the next season of The Bachelor.
"Dude. Awesome job. Also I think you just become a candidate for the next season of The Bachelor, #ImStaying season 1," Carly Sadler Andrews commented.
"When doctors look that good you can get sick every day," Kim Green wrote.
"And how handsome you are! Thank you for your service to your fellow human beings!" Louise Gouws Steyn said.
"Your looks are God given; your profession is a calling and I'm thrilled that you are focused on your community - that is a blessing. Glad that you are staying," Heather Turner said.
