“Crowd Is Not Crowding”: Varsity Cup Mascot Goes Viral, Mzansi Disappointed by Audience Energy

• The Varsity Cup mascot gave a show to remember in front of a crowd that South Africans found incredibly underwhelming
• The costumed dancer gave out some iconic moves for the audience and at one point busted out the Bacardi dance
• Netizens supported the act but wished that people watching the performance could have appreciated it more

South Africans are so good at dancing that it might as well be part of our DNA. The Varsity Cup mascot is no different, it broke it down in front of an audience that didn't seem too excited to see a person wearing a lion costume bust out the famous Bacardi dance move.

What a tough crowd

TikTokker vanessathwala6 shared the clip by stating that it was the UP mascot dishing out the moves but this was later corrected by many commenters. Netizens were in love with the vibrant energy and the effort the mascot put into the dance moves. The costume itself is the star of the show as well, many people loved the tongue sticking out and the pink mane gives it some flair.

The battle of the mascots

Commenters saw the opportunity to vent about the mascots found in their universities. According to one of them, the UKZN mascot takes the cake when it comes to vibes and overall energy. Sadly though, a UJ student complained about how their mascot didn't have the same energy.

The biggest complaint about the video, however, was how the crowd was so unresponsive to the mascot. The audience isn't shown completely but from what can be seen, only a few hands are waved but none of the audience members seem interested in cheering on the vibey lion. Netizens across the country appreciated the effort the mascot put in.
