“Perfect Match”: Naija Content Creator Reacts to Velaphi Comparisons, Mzansi Shows Some Love

• A Naija content creator gave a very detailed explanation of how he felt about being compared to Velaphi
• The beloved South African character was a scooter messenger working for an advertising agency called Shukushukuma
• Mzansi had a fun time sharing why the man was called that and many were proud of his positive energy throughout

South Africans are known to have a very tongue-in-cheek sense of humour and one man experienced it first hand on the job. A Naija content creator reacted to him being compared to the beloved fictional South African character, Velaphi, because of his occupation as a delivery driver.

A sort-of compliment

TikTokker realgranddilan shared a three-minute clip sharing his thoughts about the comparison and that he felt honoured to be compared to the man. He took his time to research the character and pointed out where the two differed, hilariously insisting that he was the more handsome one between the two.

A change in tone

Before he accepted the comparison, realgranddilan didn't like the name given to him. He shared another video asking people to stop calling him that name but changed his tune after seeing who the character was. The caption of the video above perfectly describes his change of attitude, reading:

"It is an honour for a poor low budget comedian like me to be called VELAPHI ONE LOAF."

Velaphi was a show based on a character of the same name. He was a Xhosa man who worked as a scooter messenger working for an advertising agency called Shukushukuma. The understanding content creator then realised that it was more of an honour instead of a joke at his expense. South Africans appreciated the mans energy while also poking some fun.
