A lighthearted TikTok video shared by user @uyanda506 on 7 June 2026 has left South African women deeply amused. The woman jokingly confronted community organiser Nkosikhona "Phakelumthakati" Ndabandaba during preparations for the highly publicised 30 June anti-illegal immigration marches. She humorously pointed out that men frequently forget to gift them with cash before going out to protests.

Woman calls for protest allowance

The creator, TikTok user @uyanda506, asked Phakelumthakathi to officially address the oversight and ensure men leave a designated "protest allowance" for their families. The fearless Zulu leader found the request hilarious and immediately echoed her sentiments, publicly telling men to do right by their households. He, however, did not specify the exact financial amount, sparking an amusing online debate among viewers.
