"No way! 🤣🤣 I didn’t even know they sold that at Dis-Chem! A tokoloshe is like a little demon figure that our parents used to scare us with when we were kids. It’s part of some spiritual practices."

It’s not just Dis-Chem that’s been the backdrop for this TikTokker’s adventures. Briefly News reported that the same American TikTokker shared a hilarious clip about his experience at Menlyn Mall. And if that wasn’t enough, he even directed a tongue-in-cheek message at his fellow Americans, advising them on why they might want to steer clear of Cape Town. Meanwhile, another tourist visiting a Spar in Cape Town was left utterly baffled by a vegetable they’d never seen before. South Africa, it seems, is full of surprises waiting to be uncovered.
