“Ek Is Die Baas Hierso”: Afrikaans and Tsonga Skit Argument Has SA Glued to Video

• A humorous video portraying a tense interaction between a young woman and an elderly Afrikaans woman captured the attention of millions
• The viral clip was shared on TikTok on January 4 2026, depicting a scripted domestic dispute involving demands for a massage and a glass of water
• Social media users were entertained and praised the acting skills of the duo, while others expressed that the imagery was difficult for some to watch

A lighthearted performance between two women in Limpopo recently ignited a conversation about content creation and historical sensitivity.

The video was shared on TikTok by @venessabill and garnered 2M views along with over 5K comments from an online audience that mostly found the duo’s acting entertaining.

The clip starts as the gogo shouts at the maid and tells her she was instructed to massage her leg nicely. After complying and while about to rub her leg, the woman shouts again and tells her to be soft. TikTok user @venessabill does as she is told but cheekily talks back in Tsonga. Granny continues shouting as she gets up and tells her to sweep the floor, which she does.

Comedic interaction involving a massage

She then orders her to give her water, and the funny woman gives her a cup with a quarter of water. Gogo shouts again in Afrikaans, asking why the water was too little but the “maid” shouts back in her language. The skit ends with the elderly woman throwing the water right back at @venessabill.

SA loves the duo’s skit

The viral video gained millions of views and thousands of comments from an online community that was mostly entertained and loved how real the skit looked. Many viewers complimented the women for a great job. Some noted that the clip was strictly for content and emphasised that there were no hard feelings, as the two women were very close and not a real madam and domestic worker. Others, however, held different views and noted that the clip was too traumatic for some people. These viewers felt that the aggressive nature of the performance hit too close to home for those who have experienced similar real-life situations. The content is intended for comedic purposes and does not reflect real-life scenarios experienced by viewers.
