TikTok challenges can be entertaining, but this one missed the mark. A South African man is facing backlash after holding a beer to the mouth of an image of Bishop Barnabas Lekganyane.
TikTok challenge goes too far
His take on the Biri Marung challenge quickly gained traction on the platform, but for all the wrong reasons. It seems the post was meant to be funny, but offended many viewers, especially ZCC members.
ZCC members express outrage
The ZCC is one of the largest Christian denominations in Southern Africa. It's no surprise the usage of the bishop’s picture in the challenge, sparked outrage instead of laughs.

People are going off in the comments section. Many spoke about respecting religions and sacred symbols.
