In the clip, the tourist films her content while doing her make-up, saying they were all staying in a beach house in Johannesburg. The clip quickly moves to the humorous @liz_da_silva, who shares her content as if reading the news, presenting for a news channel. She shares the 'breaking news' that no one in Johannesburg knew about, that there is a beach that has been kept a secret. She shares that not even Cupcake (a nickname given to President Ramaphosa) knows of it.

While still reading the "news," she adds that the public has been toy-toying outside the ANC headquarters in Luthuli House, demanding to know why they were not told of the beach, with the leader coming out to say they didn't know either. She further jokes that locals are cancelling their Easter holiday plans to coastal cities as they are looking forward to visiting the Johannesburg beach.
