The latest episode of Lasizwe Dambuza’s popular YouTube series Awkward Dates has sparked hilarious reactions online after actress Asavela Mqokiyana performed a jaw-dropping stunt during their meetup. Known for her role as Sizakele in Uzalo, Asavela left both Lasizwe and viewers stunned when she casually opened a beer bottle with her teeth — on camera!
In the viral clip, shared widely across social media, the pair can be seen at RocoMamas, Lasizwe’s current restaurant partner. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until Asavela reached for her Carling Black Label. Without hesitation, she lifted the bottle to her mouth and, in one swift motion, popped the cap off using her teeth. The bottle top clattered to the table, accompanied by Lasizwe’s dramatic reaction of pure disbelief.
While Lasizwe sat wide-eyed and speechless, social media erupted in applause and laughter. Many viewers loved the unexpected moment, praising Asavela for being unfiltered and authentic on camera. Fans of the Awkward Dates series agreed this was one of the most memorable moments yet.
