A British content creator has given South Africa its flowers, and locals could not agree more. TikTok user @henripalms posted a video on 23 September 2026 making the case for South Africa as the greatest country of all time, and he came with evidence. Having spent time living in the country, he held up a series of local staples one by one, giving each a glowing verdict that had South Africans nodding along.

Biltong topped his list, which he declared to be nothing short of God's finest creation. He did not stop there. All Gold tomato sauce, he said, is the best ketchup in the world, a claim that immediately drew correction from the comments. Sparletta fizzy drinks and Cadbury 5Star chocolates also made his cut, and he rounded things off by holding up a generous piece of boerewors, calling it the best sausage in existence.
