In another story, Briefly News reported on one Xhosa woman who composed her own lyrics in a remixed version of umbhedesho.

A TikTok user's sense of humour had socials giggling at her foolishly changing lyrics to a well-respected religious song.

In the song, which was originally created to be joyous, olwethumahlasela0's controversial version sang about people who buy expensive clothing brands that are out of their budgets. The TikTokker sang her heart out that she used to believe that people who owned pricey clothes and things had a lot of money, but to her surprise, they bought their things on credit.

One of the comments read:

“Wow, the pressure is getting worse."
