South Africans are known for their quick wit and humour, especially online. If you find yourself in a social media storm, you'll want to be on the Mzansi side. A seemingly innocuous question from a wife to her laid-back husband about missing shoes has turned into a hilarious TikTok investigation.
The mystery began when the wife discovered a R18,300 receipt for Gucci shoes, but the shoes themselves were nowhere to be found. The original video went viral, sparking a collective search effort.

Determined TikTok users shared and reposted, eager to crack the case. One sleuth took it to the next level, using the receipt's code to track down the exact Gucci shoes on the official website – and incredibly, they found them!

Theories of the missing shoes have ever since surfaced, with many sharing their thoughts on the situation and the whereabouts of the shoe.
One user said “George probably planned a surprise for her but now he will return the shoe because of the embarrassment he was subjected to’’ we are not sure if there is some truth in that but we hope that won’t be the case.
Tik Tok influencers also hopped online and asked the big question “George where is the shoe” hoping for an answer but crickets can still be heard.
