Briefly News got in contact with Nduduzo to find out what the meaning behind this was and what it meant to him. This is what he said:

“My fellow brothers and sisters whom we go church (Nazareth Baptist Church: Ebuhleni) with came to celebrate my graduation with me in style. There were many ways that we could’ve celebrated. This dance is like a prayer to us, we were thanking the almighty Lord for our achievement (My achievement is their achievement). This dance is linked to Zulu culture. It’s very important to not lose your identity because I am defined by my culture.”
