Some of the best moments in life happen when family gathers around, filled with laughter, love, and a little bit of mischief. A TikTok video posted by user @raisibe_aggy21 has left South Africans in stitches after showing a hilarious yet heartwarming moment at a baby shower.
In the video, a lively uncle, also known as Malome, steals the spotlight as he stands up to give a speech in honour of his niece, who’s expecting her first child. The proud uncle, dressed to impress and full of character, takes the stand and playfully reminds everyone that he used to change her nappies when she was still a baby.
He further jokingly declared that when a man eventually wants to marry her, he’d be demanding a full R2 million in lobola, and the room burst into laughter. He also proceeds to invite the father to be, to come join his woman in front and sit next to her. The entire speech made the video go viral by gaining hundreds of views and likes.

South Africans celebrate family bonds and malome's charm
What made the video go viral wasn’t just the joke about lobola; it was the energy that Malome brought to the moment. His confidence, humour, and old-school charm reminded many South Africans of their own uncles, the ones who are always ready with a joke, a life lesson, or a dance move. These malomes often play a huge role in the family structure.
In the comments section, South Africans shared how relatable the moment felt. Some told stories about their own uncles who helped raise them, others remembered family events where an older uncle delivered a speech that had everyone crying one minute and laughing the next. The video quickly became more than just a funny clip; it turned into a celebration of family, culture, and tradition.
