On the South African side of TikTok, hundreds of videos have gone viral showing strict African parents’ reactions to their kids’ absurd behaviour. The relatable content reached many social media users who appreciated breaking the fourth wall.

While creating TikTok videos on her phone, her strict mother walked into her bedroom and busted her. The parent did not even have to use her words, only her facial expressions and hand gestures to signal the amount of trouble her rebellious kid was in.

Mzansi was amused by the video and helped generate almost half a million views in a few days. Most South African youngsters pointed out that the lady should have been more vigilant during her mission.

Some TikTokkers highlighted that the hun should not have worn headphones as she could’ve heard her mom’s footsteps if she paid more attention to keeping her phone longer without being busted.
