Zwane posted a video on TikTok three days ago and reached 153K views. The youngster has been consistently putting out content for two weeks, hoping it would reach the president’s attention.

South Africans were unsure of the request and shared their opposing views about the youngster’s wishes. Briefly News went through Zwane’s TikTok page and picked up that she’s a bit of a comedian.

People aren’t sure if her request to have the President at her matric ball is just for laughs and to attract more followers, or if she genuinely wants an iconic figure as her date. The now-viral clip is her best-performing TikTok post so far.

Zwane excitedly said:

“Owam and Cupcake for MD.”
