A hilarious clip of a Mzansi man teaching in China while wearing a Kaizer Chiefs shirt had the internet buzzing with joy.

The teacher, TikTok user @ayabulelamarulumba, shared his clip on the platform, attracting thousands of comments from social media users who celebrated Amakhosi's win with him.

The video opens with the teacher standing in front of a group of adorable Chinese learners, all standing to greet him politely. He’s rocking his yellow Kaizer Chiefs tee with pride, already setting the tone for what’s about to be a chaotic, footie-filled lesson. He announces the topic of the day, Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates, and asks them to say it after him.

The kids repeat the team names - Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates - as the teacher writes them on the board. He writes down the Nedbank Cup final score, 2-1, with Amakhosi on top, while cheekily shading Pirates for the loss.

Briefly News caught up with die-hard Amakhosi fan Kuhle Dlamini to talk about these unforgettable moments of pride, loyalty, and celebrations. The team asked the fan why the teacher's video resonated so strongly with South Africans online. He said:

"Because we're been waiting for a decade for this kind of moment. We needed a win like this, not just on the field, but in spirit. That teacher became all of us. Petty, proud, passionate. It hit home because we’ve all been flexing this victory in many ways, whenever we can."

The rivalry with Orlando Pirates was part of the lesson. We asked the man if he thinks this adds fuel to the fire. He commented:

"Always. But in a good way. Chiefs and Pirates are football heritage. We joke we flex, but it's all love at the end of the day. That little jab at Pirates is a classic Amakhosi energy."You win, you celebrate loudly."

When asked what his thoughts were on those saying Kaizer Chiefs was becoming too proud. Kuhle responded:

"Listen, when you've been silent for a decade, pride feels like therapy. Many would agree that if it were easy to dump the team when it was not doing well, we would have, but how do you disown family?

The team is family to some of us supporters. Let us have our moment. We’ve suffered. We’ve been clowned. Now we’re back, and yes, we’re going to remind everyone."

SA loves the man's content

The clip attracted floods of comments from social media users who enjoyed the Kaizer Chiefs flexing moment. SA football lovers were vibing hard, loving how their team got international shout-outs.

Some joked that they'd do the same thing if they were in his shoes, saying a Kaizer Chiefs win after years of a dry season was worth celebrating. Others laughed at how petty and proud the teacher was, saying the next game might disappoint him.
