A proud sister documented her matriculant brother's pre-celebrations for his matric dance. However, it was the rich vibes on screen that caught many people's attention.

Matric dances are a significant time in a learner's life, marking the end of their secondary studies. TikTok content creator Lilitha Sihle took to her account on 29 June to show how her brother, his matric dance partner, and his friends prepared for the event in a massive home they rented.

As the group got ready to leave, luxury vehicles such as a Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mustang, Ferrari, and G-Wagens filled the driveway, ready to cart the kids off to their destination. Lilitha's brother was fortunate enough to arrive at the matric dance in style in the Rolls Royce.
