💨 Abstract

A viral TikTok challenge, known as the "white sock challenge," has reached South Africa. It involves walking through cities in new white socks to visualize the cleanliness of streets. Content creator Tim Morrel adapted the challenge for Stellenbosch and a taxi rank area, highlighting the city's hygiene issues. His footage revealed excessively dirty socks, leading Morrel to criticize the management of public cleaning budgets.
