Pantsula is a classic South African dance style and cultural identity originating from the townships. The people who refer to themselves as pantsulas are known for their energetic footwork, walk, language and distinctive style.

Relebogile walked through the streets of Paris wearing a bucket hat and imitated the walk and hand gestures of old school pantsula dancers.

She captioned her video with a play on Jay-Z and Kanye West's song, and played Trompie's hit track Magasman featuring the late Lebo Mathosa, a classic Kwaito song that used to rule townships in the early 2000s. "Pantsula in Paris!" she captioned, referencing the fusion of cultures.
