A TikTok creator shaped pap into a quarter loaf and filled it like a kota, sparking mixed reactions. The clip, which quickly gained over 7,400 likes and 400 comments in just 22 hours, showed him making a pap kota. Pap, a traditional food in many South African homes, is often paired with meat or gravy. By mixing humour and creativity, @jay_ztro got South Africans talking, even if not everyone wanted to try the pap kota themselves, nor understand the concept. A pap kota experiment gained over 7,400 likes and hundreds of comments within a day.
