WATCH: TikToker's hilarious skit on Afrikaner refugees trying to order braai vleis in the US

POPULAR content creator Troy Sheperds once again has South Africans in stitches with his latest viral skit. 

This time, he portrays an Afrikaner refugee trying to order “braai vleis” at a restaurant in the United States.

With over two million followers, Sheperds is known for his humorous takes on South African culture, and this sketch is no exception. 

Using his best Afrikaans accent, he brings to life a fictional scene in which a confused Afrikaner couple desperately tries to place an order at an American restaurant.

In the skit, the character Jaku tells his wife Mariekie that he’s desperately craving “braai meat”, only to discover it’s nowhere to be found on the menu. 

He describes it as “k*k,” while also complaining about the steep prices.

When the American waiter approaches, Jaku tries to order in broken English but quickly slips into Afrikaans, convinced the waiter “looks Afrikaans” and might understand him. 

Unsurprisingly, the waiter is completely baffled.

Mariekie urges her husband to speak English, prompting Jaku, who is agitated, to snap back that she’s been annoying him ever since they landed in America. 

This, however, doesn’t stop him from speaking Afrikaans in yet another attempt to ask if the restaurant serves “braai vleis.”

The waiter, trying to help, points out the New York strip on the menu. 

While Jaku recognises it, he asks if they happen to have “Bloemfontein koei” instead. 

Spotting other patrons’ plates, he complains that the steak portions are tiny and that it’s only enough to feed a cat.

Frustrated by the prices, Jaku then declares that back home, he could get steak, eggs, and six wings at Wimpy for just R100. 

Still speaking mostly in Afrikaans, he ends his rant by telling the waiter he won’t be paying the high prices because, simply put, he doesn’t have any money.

Many took to the comments to say they surprisingly understood the mostly Afrikaans dialogue.

“What’s funny is that I don’t know Afrikaans but I can understand everything he is saying,” one viewer commented. 

Another added, “Today I discovered I understand Afrikaans better than I thought!”

The video also playfully references a real-life moment when a group of 49 so-called Afrikaner refugees arrived in the US, sparking jokes among South Africans about their future language struggles.
