Blindfolded Saleswoman Proves Car Knowledge, Amuses South Africans: “Give Her a Raise”

• A woman, known as The Omoda Girl, blindfolded herself and guessed the cars that were behind her to show how much she knew about vehicles
• With the help of her colleague, the young Durban-based car sales executive used a hilariously unique technique to reveal her guesses for the various makes
• A few social media users were impressed with the saleswoman's skills, while other members of the online community thought her method was a clever marketing strategy

A car sales executive based in Durban amused social media users when she humorously showed her wealth of knowledge when it came to the makes of certain vehicles. However, some people on the internet thought the woman's actions were too good to be true.

On 16 September, 2025, the blindfolded woman, who referred to herself as The Omoda Girl on her TikTok account, had one of her colleagues at the dealership close the bonnets of various vehicles. The aim of the game was for her to guess the car based on the sound of the bonnet closing.

While some social media users were impressed with what they saw on their For You Pages, others thought that the setup was staged, with one person referring to the video as a great marketing strategy. Internet users also flooded the post by sharing that they were not from certain areas across the country, which seemed to be a running joke.
