Makhi Thee Shwappa, the Mpumalanga content creator behind one of TikTok's most-talked-about cement moments, is back at it again — and this time, Mzansi is genuinely worried. On 24 July 2026, TikTok account @cylinder.simphiwe shared Makhi's cement video, which wasted no time getting people talking.

Makhi's cement stunts go viral

She walked into the frame barefoot, holding a plate with a sandwich, and settled against a wall to eat. Seconds later, a massive cloud of dry cement powder came crashing down over her, coating her head, hair, and entire body in thick grey dust. She stood up and walked calmly through the cloud as if nothing had happened.

This is not Makhi's first time pulling a cement stunt. Her earlier cement video racked up enormous view counts and reportedly earned her a significant payout, which likely inspired her to return to the format. While the content is clearly drawing attention, it is also drawing concern from followers who feel the health risks are being overlooked. The worry centres on repeated inhalation and skin contact with dry cement powder, which contains fine particles that can be harmful over time.
