Entrepreneur, "blêrie" influencer, and social media content creator Sami Hall has taken over the South African social media landscape with her humour and unique South African accent.
Hall takes her followers on a trip through South Africa with her videos, making light of the daily struggles the country faces; potholes, loadshedding, and our often ridiculous politics.

Her videos have garnered a lot of traction on social media, and today, she has more than 100,000 followers on both Facebook and TikTok and over 50,000 followers on Instagram.
On Thursday, Martin Bester invited the influencer to talk about her life, her experience with fame, and what it takes to be a social media star.
She also revealed that she has known Martin Bester for almost 12 years, as she worked at Jacaranda FM when she was younger.
Hall spoke about her experience working at Jacaranda FM and also shared a hilarious story about how she caused the station to be off-air for nearly five minutes.
The comedian and content creator also taught Martin Bester and the rest of the team the tips and tricks of being a social media influencer.
According to Hall, there are just three things to remember:
1. Don't listen to people saying you have to "stick to your niche"
"People say stick your niche. I disrespectfully disagree. I like to keep ‘em guessing. No one knows what will come out of my mouth next. Including me."

2. Anything is content. Don't take it too seriously. Sometimes people spend so much time worrying about what to post - just post
3. You have to be a good lip-syncer
Hall also recently added a few other titles to her extensive resume, such as podcaster and author.
In 'The Memoirs of a Clumsy Potato', Sami Hall takes you through some of the tough and challenging life events that changed her forever and shaped her into the weird, clumsy, constantly tired potato that we know and love.
