"Vuka kwabafileyo" (rise from the dead) is the latest video to go viral. It's a more choreographed spin to the #resurrectionchallenge that dominated social media in February.  

The resurrection challenge trended after Congolese Pastor Alf Lukau performed a "resurrection" on a man at his church in Johannesburg.

In the viral video, the "resurrected" man emerges from the casket with his mouth wide open with a confused look on his face.

The "Vuka kwabafileyo" dance incorporates the exact actions.
