Isitha: The Enemy actor Senzo Radebe had Mzansi in stitches on Monday, 5 October 2026, after posting a deadpan comedy video detailing his bodybuilding meal plan.

The video, shared by @kletlape on X, quickly gained traction as fans debated everything from carb intake to hairlines.

@iam_tct commented:

"Lol, I wouldn't survive this kind of diet to maintain a 6 pack/lean body. There are so many ways to kill a cat..😎"

@Magesh_ZA joked:

"I don't know why I'm on earth, but it's definitely not for a 6-pack."

@Hakeem_Onitolo shared:

"I have 6 packs, and I eat everything. I am not on a diet. I just train and eat like a normal person."

@yilu_ultra asked:

"Who did his hair transplant?😩 I hope it's not permanent cause its awkward. Solid gent, but that is not his natural hairline."

@nkatekoshibambu questioned:

"Does the food have to look like the Jeffrey Epstein meals? A little paprika, black pepper or garlic powder wouldn't add calories. One thing I hate about people who claim to eat clean, they want to make food that looks and tastes boring. 👀"
