The Scenic Drive had the opportunity to meet Tyson Ngubeni - South Africa's favourite internet comedian.
During the national lockdown - 32-year-old Tyson Ngubeni became a household name and internet sensation.
Ngubeni shared hilarious videos, from discussing the culinary classic that is amagwinya (fat cakes) on Instagram to featuring in the quirky lockdown Chicken Licken advert.

However, at the end of April, Ngubeni shared a video that gave him star status without planning it.
In the video, the comedian impersonates a typical American TV news reporter in a news feature about wall fences which are referred to in South Africa as "stop nonsense."
