A humorous family video shared on the Facebook page Lujabe Siphe on 30 December 2025 showed a young boy known as Zulu Boy calling out his mother for mismatched bedding. In the clip, he pointed out that she used purple, red and white sheets instead of grey and white. He explained that she should only use two colours and threatened to report her to his grandmother for not listening.
Children expressing strong opinions have become popular online, especially when they speak with unexpected confidence. In many South African homes, grandparents play a central role, making the idea of reporting to a gogo instantly relatable. Lujabe Siphe jokingly added that when his grandmother uses different pillowcases, she does not know what she will do.
A young voice with big opinions
Lujabe Siphe's clip gained attention because Zulu Boy is already known for sharing wisdom beyond his years. The video quickly stood out because of his confident delivery and mature tone, which contrasted with his young age. Viewers enjoyed the playful honesty and the way he confidently set rules for colour coordination. The moment felt natural rather than staged, which made it more enjoyable.
