In said viral video which appeared on the social network on Tuesday, Catzavelos gives his viewers a brief weather report from an exotic beach, adding that there’s not “one k***** insight”.Political parties and prominent social media users soon laid into Catzavelos, with the EFF, in particular, laying a case against him. But it seems that some South Africans are finding a more inventive and immediate way to respond to his comments.

The hashtag #AdamCatzavelosChallenge briefly trended on Twitter in South Africa on Wednesday afternoon, and with it introduced a new video meme format.

The “challenge” sees participants providing their own weather reports, mocking Catzavelos’s video.

Some clips have already amassed more than 10,000 views.

Nevertheless, some users questioned the challenge as a valid response format.
