The scene from a William Shakespeare book attracted smoke bombs and wild cheers from those in attendance.

"Never stop showing someone how much they mean to you. Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings," said Mandla.

The rendezvous tale happened when Mandla reached out to Visit Knysna asking for assistance as he intended proposing to his girlfriend.

The team at Visit Knysna knew just what to do as they went all out to ensure that the day was a memorable and this is how they did it.

They put Mandla and Cwenga into two separate safety cars. As the audience was anticipating for the relaxer to begin, the safety cars did a burnout while approaching the start line.

Cwenga had no idea what was happening as she had been told that Mandla had requested for the couple to experience the thrill of the track in a safety car.

For her, that was an experience of a lifetime. Little did she know that something bigger was brewing at the start line.

"I was totally blown away and it came as a huge surprise," she said.

The guests were eventually told that there was something wrong with the car and they needed to step out.

This was when Mandla brought Cwenga to the start line and dropped down onto one knee to pop the all-important question - to which she thankfully said yes. It was followed by pink smoke grenades, after which the newly engaged couple jumped back into the vehicles to experience the course.
