A South African TikTok user, @dndndognerd, has the internet in stitches after sharing a series of hilarious videos in which she pretends to be a teacher imagining a history lesson in 2085.
In these videos, she quizzes her make-believe learners about what she refers to as the 'Great Tsek of 2025", a mock reference to the Afrikaaners who emigrated from South Africa to America.
Coming across as a very stern teacher, she asks the learners to open their history books and then proceeds to question them on the topic of the 'Great Tsek'.
'Who can tell me when in 2025 did the 'Great Tsek' happen?' she asks the class.
One of the fictional learners, whom she named Kobus, responds, 'May 2025.'

She then goes on to ask the learners why the 'Great Tsek' happened.
Pretending to be another learner named Ntokozo she answers, 'Yes, because the voortsekkers were not happy with equality and they were trying to victimise themselves and then they tried to commit treason and it didn't work and they accidentally ended up with 'refugee status'.
Her final question to the class centred around why so many people were angry at the voortsekkers for the move.
A learner named Mark, who seems to have a bit of a dirty mouth, responded that they thought the rest of the work was stupid.
The humorous skit has been viewed over 900,000 times, with thousands of people jumping into the comment section responding to the witty clip.
'Now I want to time travel… Be in this class… pass the term… write a whole essay… And focus on how that impacted Brakpan,' one user commented.
Another said, 'South Africa is a movie. I'm telling you. The most diverse country in the world. Hate or love us, it's your business.'
The TikToker went on to create more videos around the same topic.
In another skit, she asks the class what happened to the voorstekkers when they realised there was no biltong in America.
One of the imaginary learners responded that it was the 'biltong revolution' that happened in 2026.
With sharp wit and satire, her videos blend humour and social commentary in a way that clearly resonates with South African TikTok users.
