The video posted by @thenjwayo.o on 26 November 2025 quickly became one of the most talked-about clips of the week as South Africans tried to wrap their heads around the situation. The man at the centre of the story appeared in a TikTok where he danced alongside his two girlfriends, @lalamwathi and @tshepi.

In the video, the trio danced in sync, creating a light-hearted moment that contrasted heavily with the earlier speculation online. Before the three-way video dropped, people had argued over whether the man was cheating or whether the women knew about each other. The updated clip seemed to answer the questions that had been circulating, suggesting that the relationship was more open than viewers initially thought. It also showed the two women interacting comfortably, which gave the clip even more shock value, considering the earlier controversy on their individual timelines.

Unexpected TikTok twist sparks conversation

Within a single day, the video posted by user @thenjwayo.o managed to pull in over 29,000 likes and more than 200 comments from stunned South Africans. The numbers climbed fast as people started sharing their disbelief, and the story spread across timelines as users debated the man’s boldness. The earlier posts from the girlfriends made the reveal even more dramatic, forming part of why the clip gained momentum so quickly. Because the whole thing unfolded over just a few posts, it felt like viewers were watching a mini-series play out in real time.

By the time the comment section settled, the clip had sparked jokes, opinions and even reluctant admiration. Some people said they would start minding their own business after seeing how confidently the man handled the situation. Others teased him as a real African man who was attempting a polygamous setup without fear of the internet’s reaction. Many were shocked but entertained, saying the clip felt like a plot twist no one saw coming and that only South Africa could deliver a moment this dramatic.
