“HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN in front of people? No? Yes?! Well I did on a whole @afronation @pianopeopleofficial stage and @njelic_sa and I carried on rocking the minute he was able to get me up.🙈 ”
She continued,
“Not sure if it was those [redacted] “Howdy Neigbour boots” or if it’s coz my knees are giving up on me. 😂😭 I tripped on that fan coz I was so in to it.”
In the video, Lamiez Holworthy, who recently celebrated her birthday, said:
“There is something about when you are in your thirties, right? The knees are not the same anymore. Not me falling on stage, Sana, in front of thousands of people.”
She continued,
“Njelic struggled to pick me up, but I am here, I am alive. That was so much fun.”
Reflecting on the event in another video, Holworthy said the experience was different from what she was used to, but she enjoyed every moment.
“It’s so wild for me because I’m not used to being at events so early. I’m not used to being among people. So this is all new to me, but it is also just so exciting getting to experience Africans from all over, people from all over the world. But one, it is seeing how proud other Africans are of their countries.”
She added:
“Look, all that I am is because of Pretoria, it’s because of South Africa, it’s because of Africa, it’s because of you.”
