A few social media users were interested in the women gathering for a weekend away.

@audre901 asked the woman:

"Can I join next year?"

@kingdomchildrsa, who loved the clip, said:

"The things we want to see. Enjoy, ladies."

@bervelyblack wrote in the comment section:

"Argh, man. This is so lovely."

An excited @sns2103 shared:

"Please add me to your book club."

@mashoto_ laughed and said:

"I won’t qualify with my Suzuki."

The TikTokker replied:

"You more than qualify. Most girls did not have cars."

When @kgomotsegoseb asked what's needed to join the group of friends, Yaya responded:

"A membership deposit of R1 000 towards the trip, and for you to read the books and come to the discussions once a month on Zoom. We have slots open from January to June and from July to December."
