SomGAGA shared the video on his TikTok page, and can be seen running up the steps to the stage in the famous loose-fitting Hammer pants.

His energetic entrance, coupled with the background song, Sdudla or Slender by Shandesh & Mvzzle, was almost diffused by the still crowd, but not even that could stop Somizi from doing his thing.

Despite only seeing a handful of people dance and interact with his performance, the former Idols SA judge showed love to Limpopo:

"I'm captured by Limpopo."
