A South African TikToker known as @lovealways.lukho became the talk of the comment section after viewers began comparing her to MaNtuli. She went viral for her uncanny resemblance to the beloved character from the popular SABC1 soapie Skeem Saam.

The creator filmed a casual indoor selfie-style video on 15 October, reacting to the flood of comments insisting she was a dead ringer for the fictional character. Seated against a couch, she addressed her audience in a playful, humorous tone, seemingly amused but also a little disbelieving about the comparison.

The video by @lovealways.lukho quickly caught fire, with viewers weighing in on both sides of the debate. Some could not believe others were missing the obvious likeness, while others were completely unconvinced until they scrolled through the comments.
