A Zimbabwean content creator has successfully tricked many South Africans into believing a swarm of bees was punishing him after allegedly stealing a 2025 Ford Ranger belonging to musician Jah Prayzah.
The bizarre video, shared by South African blog MDN News, shows the man nearly in tears with a swarm of bees clinging to his right hand. The clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on May 19, with a caption suggesting that the man was being stung by bees as punishment for the alleged theft.
“A Zimbabwean national confessed to stealing a Ford Ranger, which resulted in him being bewitched and left with a swarm of bees on his hands.”
In the self-recorded footage, the man admits to stealing the Ford Ranger and pleads with Jah Prayzah, whose real name is Mukudzei Mukombe, to come and collect his car, claiming the bees won’t stop attacking him.
“Akomana ndatambura. Nyuchi dzanditambudza idzi. Ndakaba Ford Ranger nyowani ya2025. I think kuti Ford iyoyo ndeya Jah Prayzah. Kune vanoziva Mukudzei Mukombe ndokumborawo uuye utore mota yako iri mugarage. Ndatambura. Dzandiruma nyuchi idzi vakomana, Nyuchi dzanditambudza idzi. Dzirikundiruma. Muku, please huya utore mota yako,” the distressed man says.
