Memes. It’s hard not to love them, and South Africans are truly brilliant when it comes to creating hysterical posts that only a local would have a good laugh at. The best memes are the ones that are birthed out of truly organic moments, and often, we have kids and animals to thank for that.
The latest video that had me chuckling at my screen is not only South African but distinctly Capetonian, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Robyn Simpson.
Thanks to TikTok and the wondrous world of whack filters, we’ve all been blessed with this adorable clip of a young local who just wants to be a snoek. Because who wants to be a mermaid, right?
While the clip was posted earlier last month, the video has continued to do the rounds, and no matter how many times I watch it, it still puts a smile on my face. I hope it does the same for you…

Sometimes, the witty responses to viral content is just as good as the original source. Kim Kardashian posted a mermaid-like picture on social media, to which a South African responded brilliantly. Take a look.
Well played Karl Myburgh. Well played…
