After meeting the well-known thespian Fiona Ramsay, voice artist Sinemivuyo Mpulu asked her to imitate five accents, local and international, which she aced with ease. Her take on the accents mesmerised people online, who were also in awe of her beauty.

Sinemivuyo uploaded the TikTok clip to his account on 9 September, 2025. In the video, he asked Fiona to perform five different accents: American, British, Cape Coloured, Afrikaner, and African.

For each accent, Fiona made an utterance that somehow related to the accent. However, when asked to do the unspecified African accent, both Fiona and Sinemivuyo laughed when she said:
