The 59-second clip is quite dark, however, the sounds of the angelic voices of our local talents don't need to be seen but rather heard. Clad in masks and scattered in a circle, the group of South African strangers' voices blended together like something from a professional choir.

Lombard explained the following in the caption:

"A bunch of South Africans, just a group of random visitors to the Sudwala Caves, total strangers to each other, give a spontaneous performance and harmonise as if they have been singing together for years. That’s why #ImStaying."
