Tyla attends matric dance with Mollwane
Mollwane Madiba has been the talk of the social media streets since he boldly asked Tyla out on a date.
The young man, who is a loyal fan of Tyla and the son of Princess Tirelo Molotlegi of the Royal Bafokeng Nation, has been on a months-long mission to get the Grammy Award-winner to be his date for his matric dance on 27 June 2025.

What started as silly banter quickly turned into a social media trend driven by the hashtag "Mollwane and Tyla for MD."
The young man was later interviewed on 5FM, where he spoke about the campaign that had everyone involved, from his schoolmates, news publications, to even his teachers:
`'It was a joke at school, my friends asked, 'Who are you taking, is it gonna be Tyla?' So we decided to make a video. It wasn't serious at first, but it eventually went crazy in 24 hours."
The day finally arrived, and sadly, Mollwane went to his matric dance with a life-size cutout picture of Tyla from the 2025 Met Gala, allegedly donated by YFM.

However, in a surprising twist, more footage from the matric dance was leaked, showing Tyla walking beside her date and even taking pictures together, which surely made Mollwane's night.
