Nozzy Mbhele posted a video on Facebook about four weeks ago showing herself visiting her late mother’s grave, and the clip immediately drew attention for its mix of sincerity and unexpected humour. In the footage, she arrived at the gravesite to ask for blessings, but what stood out for many viewers was how she framed her requests, explaining that she didn’t want a man, didn’t want to leave her mother’s home, and wished for more cars on top of what she already had. The moment took place at a quiet cemetery, yet the overall tone was anything but sombre, as her playful delivery and the unusual nature of her requests grabbed the interest of thousands of South Africans who engaged with the post. The video reflected a blend of cultural practice, personal emotion, and comedic honesty that resonated across social media.
Beyond the humour, the clip posted by Facebook user Nozzy Mbhele highlighted how many South Africans connect with loved ones who have passed away, using the moment to express personal wishes, frustrations, or gratitude. Mbhele’s way of talking openly about her life challenges and desires offered viewers a familiar sense of relatability, especially in a country where visiting family graves is an important part of maintaining emotional ties. Her requests, though playful, touched lightly on the pressures of adult life, relationship expectations, and the comfort many find in staying close to their family roots. The video stood as a reminder of how people often use personal rituals to lighten heavy moments and celebrate bonds that continue even after loss.

With over 20,000 likes and more than 1,400 comments, the video spread across feeds as users shared it for entertainment or simply because it captured a familiar kind of everyday humour.
