“My Son Is So Lucky”: SA Parents Flex Their Fancy Job Titles in a Viral TikTok Video

• South African parents flexed their job titles on TikTok and realised how lucky their children are to brag about it 
• Some Mzansi people manifested their fancy positions by typing their statements in the present tense, hoping it’ll become reality 
• Social media users enjoyed the trend that took place in a thread of some two thousand comments of a now-viral post 

In the past, African children couldn’t brag about their parents’ job titles because most of those were not fancy.

In the 21st century, more and more black people are taking up space in industries deemed too luxurious to experience.
