Loadshedding apart, this week has been fun, hey? Did you check that Woolies water challenge? If you didn’t see it, check it out below. It is basically four dudes walking in a shopping center,  speaking a mix of isiZulu and basic English who then take a few swigs of Woolworths water, which changes their accents to posh pronunciation and using grootmenswoorde like ‘metamorphosis’, ‘photosynthesis’ and ‘amalgamate’. Very fokken fancy and a very funny and original thing to pull off!

This started a moerse trend on Twitter with people across Mzanzi joining in on the fun, making #WooliesWaterChallenge trend kak hard all over the place. There was even a dude from Joburg, Blake Dell, who did the most successful opposite of the video, going from his normal Joburg accent in English to isiZulu. Totes hillairs!

But as with all things lekker, there always has to be that one fokken nool (nool is basically a doos, but the nerdy version) who tries too fokken hard and spoils the party. Not only do they try too hard – it is normally also a few days too late, after the joke has somewhat evaporated. In this case, we have two fokken nole who came late to the party. With no gifts – Mmusi Maimane and The Kiffness. On the one hand a low energy performance by Mmaimane and on the other hand The Kiffness trying too hard and too loud. It is not even worth showing you their efforts. If you put these two okes together it is basically Chris Chameleon discovering the ice bucket challenge, but only next week, and trying to be relevant.

Nee, ouens. Jirre man.

At least put a better twist on it. Do the #CheckerChallenge with their house brand of boring cola , aanmaak koeldrank or muffins and have it change your accent to some breker from Benoni (toevallig also in the news this week for dishing out poesklaps at the country club, more than once): “Faark bru, this beverage is tit hey? I skiem I can like to pick up some binnets now and take her for a jol in my Corsa. Gonna pull into H2O one time! Let me just have that Checkers muffin as well so I can load lank carbs to drib the next gé who tunes me skeef, raaght in the snout, ek sê!”

Let’s rather head over for some premium entertainment, straight from The Plumlist – these okes cover everything you can stream in South Africa and this is the top 10 we’ve picked from their blog for this week:
