In a new ad that has South Africa giggling, legends Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth and Dricus du Plessis find themselves in the hot seat after they’re caught sneaking out of camp to enjoy a lekke Dezemba!
South Africa (07 January 2025) — It’s not every day that Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, and Dricus du Plessis face the same hot seat anyone who has ever snuck out of their parents’ house before knows all too well.
But in a new advert that has South Africa in stitches, the three legends find themselves sporting the same nervous energy as teenagers in big trouble would after the grown men are caught breaking out of camp (with help from Dricus himself) in exchange for a lekke Dezemba where pool parties, pillow fights, and a South African-flavour of rest awaited them.
In the advert, we find ourselves in the heat of an interrogation room with the three men who start off—like any guilty teen—by denying the allegations of their sneaking out antics.
But, when camera footage reveals the hilarious efforts they made to break free—including a trench coat disguise that was never going to fool anyone—things get sticky for the Springboks and the Middleweight Champ. Unfortunately, despite Dricus affirming that “hy weet nie wat hulle weet nie”, the jig is up. Mr Kolisi might be Rugby’s Greatest Captain, but he’s certainly not South Africa’s top trickster.
Watch: Siya, Eben and Dricus in the Hilarious Hot Seat After a Lekke Dezemba
The LekkeSlaap ad capitalised on South Africans associating rest with a healthy dose of fun and humour, and we just loved seeing the champions having the kind of Dezemba moment any besties would love.
