A night to remember
The night of Madiba’s matric dance was one for the books. It all started with a hilarious surprise from the 5FM team, who were assisting him in his quest to get Tyla to attend.
As he got ready for the big night in an unnamed suite, the team brought out a life-size cardboard cutout of Tyla, in her stunning Jacquemus design Met Gala look from earlier this year.
The team was trying to keep things light and fun, and Madiba couldn’t help but laugh at the unexpected surprise.
But little did the people know, the real surprise was yet to come. As the night continued, Tyla made a surprise appearance as Madiba came in with Tyla on his arm and walked through the crowd of students who went into a frenzy.
Many supporters had their eyes on Madiba’s matric dance night and when the “Push 2 Start” hitmaker actually made it to the dance, social media was buzzing with reactions, with Madiba’s Instagram and TikTok blowing up with comments and congratulations.
