In a TikTok video by @anglerfish.tf two men were doing a skit about how to look like a good South African. They tried to one-up each other by doing things that made them look more woke. When one was reading a newspaper about racial issues, the other one took out the isiXhosa dictionary. The two men went back and forth, trying to one-up each other by pulling out classic African literature such as Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga, and one closed the competition by reading Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom. The showdown was a stand off of who supports the black community in South Africa the most. Watch the funny video below
