Nobody knows exactly who first recorded this clip, which is fitting for a soundboard joke built on a pun. It riffs on two real things: Dota, the multiplayer game whose name began as Defense of the Ancients, and BEE, South Africa's Black Economic Empowerment policy, closely associated with president Cyril Ramaphosa's political era. The humour comes from swapping one acronym history for another with a straight face. It circulates on meme soundboards and in gaming edits, where South African creators especially use it as an in-joke, and its popularity endures because the deadpan delivery keeps fooling new listeners.

A joke voice clip claiming the game means 'Defence of the Black Economic Empowerment', riffing on Cyril Ramaphosa and BEE. A favourite for Dota 2 meme edits.
This six-second voice clip delivers its punchline like a piece of fake trivia: a narrator claims that Dota was originally known as Defence of the Black Economic Empowerment. The joke lands on the acronym BEE, a real South African policy tied to the Cyril Ramaphosa era, which makes the deadpan delivery funnier for viewers who get the reference. The voice is flat and matter-of-fact, like a documentary narrator stating a historical fact, and that contrast with the absurd claim is what sells it. Hearing it feels like being let in on a ridiculous secret, and the reaction is a surprised laugh followed by repeating the line to someone else.
