The light-hearted clip captured the sister’s priceless reaction as she tried to stay calm and supportive while being asked to do the unthinkable.

The video that was posted by @ma.mzubhela started with the brother and his sister sitting in the dining area, where he began a seemingly serious conversation. He tells her that after paying lobola, he and his fiancée have been scouting wedding venues and attending expos to plan their big day. The sister responds warmly, saying, "Oh, that’s nice."

Moments later, the tone shifted when he revealed that their wedding budget had fallen short by R65 000.

"We realised now that we are short of about R65K, and when we spoke, we decided maybe we could borrow that money from you," he says, trying to keep a straight face in the clip that was uploaded on 9 October 2025 on TikTok.

The stunned sister immediately responded by saying:

"R65 000?" Her disbelief grew as her brother suggested she could take out a loan to assist them, adding,

"We could pay it over a year. I understand that you might not necessarily have it on hand," the brother expressed.

Noticing her brother and his fiancée struggling to make eye contact, she laughs and points out,

"You’ve made zero eye contact, both of you."

Despite her shock, the sister remained composed, replying,

"Okay, I don’t have R65 000, so let’s start there. We’ll have to find it."
