Musician and Finding Bongani reality TV star Bongani Fassie recently opened up about his viral dance moves on social media.

Fassie previously sparked a debate on X when radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo commented on his dancing videos at a pool party.

Social media user Yanga_co shared a video on his X account of Fassie dancing at a pool party on 12 May 2026.

Fassie, who's been mocked on social media for his dancing moves, revealed in an interview with Daily Sun on 13 May 2026 that he will not stop dancing and the negative comments don't affect him.

"Everybody knows I'm a singer. I'm a producer, and I'm a wannabe dancer. I love dancing. Nothing can stop someone from accumulating creativity," says Fassie.
