Thukela explained that she comes up with most of the funny content posted on her TikTok:
“I watch a lot of YouTube, apparently I heard I was the first South African to pull a gun prank on my family and the first one to do a meat iron prank on a Xhosa mom, even though we are Sotho at home.”
The youngster shared that she has to have at least one of her parents involved in a prank to make it work:
“There is another pregnancy prank I did on my father that also had the nation laughing at his reaction, and I managed to get my mom on it. The gun prank was my mom, myself and my little brother’s idea. It took us days to plan the prank.”
