"You come from f***** Benoni man."

He then said the name properly and, in the end, rolled his eyes.

Speaking to Briefly News, Wesley said he saw the opportunity to make people laugh by taking aim at Charlize's American accent when saying her name.

"I think that it is one of the unique aspects of south africa. As South Africans, we are able to find humour in every situation, and Charlize pronouncing her name in a highly American Accent is no exception.
"I made that video for one purpose and one purpose only! And that purpose was to make people laugh. We are living in such dark times, and making people laugh has always made me feel better, and doing so makes the world a brighter and happier place. People shouldn't take that video as me trolling Charlize because that is not the case. People should rather try and find the humour in that video, and try and laugh a bit!"
