‘Grand-Ma, wanneer Grand-Pa nie meer werk nie!’
South Africa (30 March 2026) – Bouwer Bosch has South Africans in stitches again.
His latest viral video has racked up more than 760,000 views, and the premise had us cackling.
A Scottish actor does a voice-over for an Afrikaans advert about Grand-Ma, the remedy you turn to when South Africa’s most famous headache powder stops doing the job.
‘Wanneer Grand-Pa nie meer werk nie, kry vir jou ‘n Grand-Ma…’
But with a Scots accent.

One commenter coined the term ‘Scotikaans’. Another admitted it took them a minute to start thinking in the right language. Someone else said they needed a Grand-Pa just from watching.
‘Pop vier pilletjies in die oggend en pop vier pilletjies in die aand vir a kopseer…jy voel sommer gou-gou beter!’
Bouwer is a South African musician, actor and filmmaker who first rose to local fame as a member of Afrikaans rock band Straatligkinders in the early 2000s. He went on to become a familiar face on TV while building a reputation behind the camera as a director and producer. Today he’s widely recognised as a versatile creative entrepreneur, working across music, film and advertising.
