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.
