Mzansi can't believe matric girl allegedly drove to school in Porsche
In more back to school news, Briefly News previously reported that many Mzansi learners marked the register of their first day back at school for 2022 on Wednesday, 12 January. One girl entered her matric year in style after she posted videos of herself arriving in a Porsche and dripping in luxury.
The girl, identified as Luyanda Mhlalukwana (@yanda.woods) took to social media to share how she arrived to her first day of Grade 12.
In the videos, she is seen dressed in her uniform driving a Porsche before she goes onto show off her Christian Dior 'book bag' and her 'essential' Louis Vuitton sunglasses. In her last Instagram snap she is seen sitting on the vehicle.
The post left many social media users with their jaws dropped in disbelief with many taking to Twitter to unpack the matter resulting in Porshe trending on the timeline.
