A satirist pokes fun at how friendly South Africans are
This guy took a crack at the age-old stereotype where bank robbers wore balaclavas and asked people for directions to the bank...
Cleancutskolly is a funny content creator who believes in making people laugh. On his social media page, he focuses on satire and parody and is known for going the extra mile with his impressions.
He recently shared two videos in which he was wearing a balaclava and driving around, asking people on the street for help with directions.
In the first video, he stops next to a group of people queuing outside a Home Affairs office. The line of thinking here was to fall in line with the stereotype that bank robbers are known to wear balaclavas during a robbery.
Watch him ask the group for directions to the nearest ATM, a video courtesy of TikTok.

Many people got the joke and shared their commentary.
One person said, "You must give the man who gave you directions his cut!"
Another found his video uplifting and said, "Please do more, this was what I needed today."
He followed up with another video, this time stopping to ask a security guard for directions to the nearest bank. He went on to say that South Africans are very friendly.
This video wasn't all laughs and giggles, as some people thought sharing their understanding of his video was important.
One person wrote: "Bank robberies are really not a thing in South Africa, plus you are white in a white balaclava, she assumed you were just cold. This scenario is not a South African scene. Now if you were driving behind the cash & transit van, things would've gone differently."
