A Richards Bay SPAR shopper filmed a meat and beer combo this week, showing a braai pack bundled with Stella Artois for R49.99, and the TikTok clip has stunned Mzansi.

TikTok user Kelly Steffen shared the clip from a Richards Bay store on 11 July 2026. The video shows a family braai pack wrapped with a green Stella Artois bottle. A caption reading “Only in our country SA” flashes across the screen.

She tagged the exact location as Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal province. The clip has since gathered over 77,000 likes and more than 16,000 shares. It also picked up more than 1,400 comments and over 3,400 saves.

The combo comes days after another Stella Artois moment gripped the country. A leaked video showed Zulu King Misuzulu holding the same beer brand while confronting his wife. King Misuzulu later apologised for the video, calling the footage purely historical.

His office said the clip did not reflect the current royal household. Social media users have since joked that the SPAR bundle deserves a royal nickname. Several dubbed it the “Bayede Special,” a nod to the traditional Zulu royal salute.
