Out with his microphone at Sea Point, the content creator asked those who wanted to participate in the street quiz, ‘How many provinces are there in South Africa?’
General knowledge is the understanding of a wide range of facts about various subjects, in this case, geography.

The big question, as a geographical topic, is taught in South African schools’ intermediate phase (Grades 4–6).
The content creator questioned five people, and only one, from the Free State, correctly answered the question, prompting South African TikTok users to bury their heads in shame.
According to the South African Government’s official website, the country is one of the most diverse in the world, divided into nine provinces, each with its own legislature, premier and executive council.
The provinces include the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, and the North West Province.
