Trust actor Will Smith and his hefty right hand at the Oscars to let the memes run wild, even in South Africa.

A meme about singer Steve Hofmeyr and his wife surfaced soon after the eventful night at the Oscars, where Will Smith casually walked up onto stage and slapped presenter, Chris Rock in the face.

This followed Rock’s joke about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith – who suffers from alopecia – in which he said he can’t wait for GI Jane 2. In the 1997 film, actress Demi Moore famously shaved her head for the role.
