A cultural war between South African and American TikTok users has continued to rage online after the controversial New Orleans Zulu parade sparked outrage weeks ago. The latest development saw an American woman claiming South Africans had gone quiet, only to be exposed by a local content creator who pointed out the US lady had simply turned off her comments.
Content creator @all_good_all_ways shared a video from an American woman who complained about South Africans taking over her comments section during what she called a "war" between the two countries over the Zulu parade depictions.
"TikTok, my black TikTok, have you noticed all of South Africans are quiet? I think they used up all the internet. Thank God, I thought that we wanted a war, but I don't want a war with them, never again, because they are tiring," the American woman stated in the video.
She went on to complain about how exhausting fighting with South Africans had been, saying that she spent three whole days cursing them.

The truth revealed
The South African content creator didn't let this claim go unchallenged. At the end of the clip, @all_good_all_ways addressed the American woman directly, pointing out the real reason why South Africans appeared to be "quiet."
"Hey, we went quiet? You turned off your comments," she stated, calling out the American's attempt to claim victory in the online battle.
The creator then acknowledged that as an Afrikaner woman, it wasn't her place to lead the response to an issue that targeted Zulu culture specifically.
"I know I'm not Zulu. I know I shouldn't be fighting this, so I'm going to tag iComplain in here and she can take this over," she said, referring to another South African content creator known for addressing cultural issues directly.
