Mr Saffa, a proud South African content creator, showed off his dancing skills in Springbok gear as he danced to Bang Johanna by comedian Leon Schuster. His funky moves left his TikTok post's comment section filled with laughter.

On 3 October, 2025, Mr Saffa took to his account on the app to upload a video of himself vibing to the song and told the online community:

"It's Bok Friday, and time to take that cup again."

Although his facial expression looked serious as he mouthed the words to the 1995 song, his dancing was the complete opposite.
