“This Is Funny”: TikToker Pranks Two Women With Fake Side Chick Phone Call About R10k

• A TikToker staged a fake phone call at a community tap, making it sound like a husband had just sent her R10,000 while his wife stood nearby fetching water
• The two women confronted the content creator immediately because only they were at the tap, and the fake call could only be about one of their husbands
• South African prank creators have built a whole social media following by using everyday township settings because the closer a scenario feels to real life, the bigger the reaction it gets

A South African content creator did not need much to start a fire. All it took was a loud fake phone call, some invented money, and two women who were not playing.

On 20 February 2026, TikToker @sphalaphalasagamarothi0 arrived at a communal water tap where two women were fetching water. She pressed a phone to her ear and made sure both women could hear her clearly. She pretended to speak to one of their husbands, telling him the R10 000 he sent had arrived.

Then she said she was too scared to come to his yard because his wife was at the tap. Both women heard every single word. They put their buckets down and turned around slowly.

The setup that nobody saw coming

Only two women were standing at that tap that afternoon. That meant the fake call could only be about one of their husbands. Both women worked that out at the same time. Neither was prepared to stand there and say nothing about it.

They demanded to know which husband was supposedly on that phone. Also, they wanted to know exactly what R10 000 was being talked about. They pointed out to @sphalaphalasagamarothi0 that only they were at the tap, so the call was clearly directed at one of them.
