A Johannesburg girl swears at a monkey for stealing her cereal bars.

In true South African fashion, our favourite furry troublemakers are at it again – this time with another classic grab-and-run.

The latest monkey mischief happened outside a Johannesburg home, where a young woman named Kiki found herself the unsuspecting victim. 

A cheeky monkey slipped into the house and helped itself to her "protein bars". For gym-loving Kiki, this wasn’t just a snack – it was personal.

Turns out, the so-called protein bars were Jungle Oats bars… and honestly, it sounds like a great ad waiting to happen: “Even the monkeys can’t resist the Taste of Goodness.”

Jokes aside, Kiki – a South African living in Bangkok – was back home for a visit. And in a true South African welcome, the local monkeys decided to throw her a party… by raiding her snack stash.

  • "They always eat the nice treats in front of us."

  • "He's looking around like the voice is coming from the heavens."

  • "Pumping up some energy coming back."

  • "One tried opening my microwave yesterday."
