A young South African government official has made Mzansi proud after getting international delegates to dance to Lekompo at the BRICS Youth Summit in Brazil.

TikTok content creator @adv_makgothoma, who works as NSA Chairperson media liaison at the National Skills Authority board in Midrand, Gauteng, shared the exciting video on 11th June.

The 21-year-old from Limpopo, who now works in Johannesburg's higher education department, posted the celebration with this caption:

"It was at this point that you would swear @shandesh PSR was in the room😭😭😭Yohhhh🥹 aggg man! I never thought I'd love Lekompo like I did last night!"

The video shows people from different countries coming together in a casual setting after what appears to be a successful meeting. When Milton requested the South African song to be played, the energy in the room completely changed. Delegates from various nations joined the South African group on the dance floor, with some standing and watching whilst others fully embraced the moment. The highlight came when a woman started twerking in the middle of the dancing group, earning whistles and cheers from everyone around.

Milton mentioned that she had "one job to do in Brazil and that was to make Limpopo proud," and judging by the reactions, she definitely succeeded.
