Pap might be a staple in South African homes, but mastering the dish is no easy feat, especially for someone who's never made it before.
One American man, married to a South African woman, decided to impress his wife by preparing pap for dinner.
Admitting he had no clue how to make the beloved dish, he cleverly opted to use an automatic pap maker, which had just arrived that day.
Using the device, which resembles a pressure cooker, he simply added the ingredients, and within 25 minutes, the pap was ready.
When his wife came home from the gym, he eagerly presented his homemade meal.
But instead of being immediately impressed, she was shocked.
'Who made pap?' she asked, clearly suspicious.
Unable to believe her husband had pulled it off, she questioned him repeatedly.
'Be honest, who came here and made pap today?' she asked him and their young son, convinced there was another cook involved.
Even after tasting the pap and noting that it wasn't even burnt, she kept pressing. 'Did you watch a tutorial?' she asked, shocked by how well it turned out.
Eventually, he confessed that he used an automatic pap maker.

The video ends with him having to produce evidence that the appliance does, in fact, exist.
The Logan Family, who share snippets of their multicultural life with over one million followers on TikTok, quickly went viral with the post, which racked up nearly three million views.
While the high-tech pap maker intrigued some viewers, it was her hilarious reaction that stole the show.
One fan joked, 'We're not eating another person's pap when we're the housewife. Who came here?'
Another added, 'Bro had no idea he was having a near-death experience. 'Who made pap, who came here?''
Someone else chimed in saying: 'LOL. She thought you were cheating with someone who knows how to make pap!'

WATCH: ‘Not in Our Name' - artists condemn Gayton McKenzie's xenophobic tirade
'We condemn the hateful vitriol that the Minister for Arts and Culture spews about foreign citizens living in this country. We unequivocally condemn his tirades and say: Not in Our Name.' In a recent post on Instagram, Sebe said: 'As the South African Constitutional Court turns 30, we as South African artists call upon our leaders to protect the ideals of our beautiful constitution that guarantee the promise of a South Africa that belongs to all who live in it. McKenzie came under fire following recent remarks targeting the employment of two Zimbabweans by the Market Theatre. He is reported to have said: 'some of you here have the audacity to hire foreigners instead of South Africans'; 'I don't care how you used to do it. But for as long as I am the minister, there will be no foreigner that will work in an entity while a South African can do the same thing'; and 'foreigners' employed by government departments needed to be 'out in three weeks… I said it, I want them out, get them out'. Sebe went on to demand accountability from politicians, urging them to honour the constitution of the country. Other artists participating in the condemnation included Rafeeqah Galant, Marc Lottering, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Mike van Graan, Tshamano Sebe, Rea Rangaka, Liza Scholtz, Lesedi Kolotsi, Matthew Griffiths, Ace Marcus, Liyema Duze, Mzu Ntantiso, Thandi Sebe, Rameez Cassiem, Danica Jones and Mihlali Kope.

Showmax 'Untied': Nonku Williams opens up about divorce
Showmax released the first episode of Untied , a bold new talk show that promises to shake up South African television. Hosted by award-winning media personality Relebogile Mabotja, Untied dives deep into the complex and emotional world of divorce. The show tells these stories through the eyes of famous South African women who have lived through heartbreak and healing. Nonku Williams, a businesswoman, single mother, and reality TV star, takes the spotlight in the debut episode, according to Showmax Stories. South Africans first met Nonku on The Real Housewives of Durban , Showmax's record-breaking series. Now in its fifth season, it stands as the longest-running Housewives franchise on the continent. But Untied is different. Here, the glitz and glamour take a back seat, and Nonku sat down with Relebogile to open up like never before. She shared her pain, her journey to healing, and the lessons she has learnt about love and letting go. Nonku also explaind why she chose this moment to share her story. 'I believe everything happens for a reason, and every experience we go through has a purpose. Not just for us, but for others who may find healing and hope in our stories,' she said. 'I trust that God has a plan, and this moment is part of it. My hope is that my message will resonate with and bring healing to another woman who needs to hear it.' For years, viewers have seen Nonku on reality TV. Yet, she insists Untied shows a side of her that has never been captured before. 'My purpose is bigger than that. I want to share my truth, authenticity, and experiences to inspire, uplift and give hope to others who've gone through similar struggles,' she says. 'Untied was the perfect platform for me to share my unfiltered story.' Opening up about her divorce and the abuse she endured was no easy task. 'It comes with maturity and understanding that our experiences are meant to help others,' Nonku shares. 'Surrendering to His will gave me the purpose and fulfilment I needed to share my story, despite the challenges.' Nonku hopes viewers will find strength in her story. 'No matter what they're facing, it's not the end. It's just a season, and with faith and perseverance, they can overcome it,' she says. 'My ministry is for those in their darkest moments, and I pray that my story will give them hope and reassurance that they can emerge victorious, just like I did.' She admits that revisiting her past, especially the abuse, was both painful and healing. 'While the memories and triggers will always be there. I'm grateful that I can now speak about them in a way that brings restoration,' Nonku says. 'For me, talking about my experiences has been a form of healing, and I hope that my story can help others find healing too.' Her divorce marked a turning point. 'I've come to realise that my value and worth aren't determined by my marital status or external validation. Instead, I've found my identity in God, and that's given me a sense of purpose and freedom,' she says. Nonku's spiritual journey has guided her every step. 'Without the help of the Holy Spirit, I wouldn't have been able to be so vulnerable and authentic. SHARING HER STORY God called me to share my story, and it required me to let go of my own pride and fears,' she explains. Being this vulnerable on a public platform was daunting. 'It's not simple to expose the most intimate and traumatic parts of my life. I've reached a point where I'm not concerned about what others think or say. I'm focused on sharing my raw, unfiltered truth, and that's liberating,' Nonku says. Untied airs new episodes every Tuesday on Showmax. The show will feature more well-known South African women, including reality star Beverly Steyn, actresses Dawn Thandeka King, Mona Monyane and Palesa Madisakwane, among others. Untied will become essential viewing for anyone who wants real stories of resilience, hope, and healing. South Africans can look forward to honest conversations and powerful moments that may inspire many to find their own path to healing.
