A local woman's simple prank on her mother resulted in a chaotic and hilarious viral video, proving that a mother's concern knows no bounds.
The clip, shared on TikTok by @likhonancapayi, was met with widespread amusement and cultural appreciation from viewers, many of whom said the mother’s reaction to the prank made their day.
The video captures the prank unfolding in the family home on a Sunday morning, before church preparation. The mother was sitting in her bedroom, which is directly connected to the lounge, writing in a book. Her daughter, Likho, enters the lounge and deliberately sits down, immediately catching her mother's attention with a large pile of sliced bread.
The moment the mother saw the quantity of food, she screamed “asoze” (never), expressing her shock and questioning how Likho could eat so much bread for breakfast. She demanded to know why Likho hadn't cooked ipapa (soft porridge made with maize meal) instead. The humour escalates further when TikTok user @likhonancapayi pretends to eat the bread. The mom sternly asks how many slices she is eating, and Likho counts and confirms it is nine slices.

She firmly ordered her daughter to put the bread back in the kitchen, reminding her she wasn't the only person in the house.
