A Polish dancer went viral after sharing a video on her Facebook page on 20 October 2025 showing off her fiery South African dance moves. The video went viral, getting over a million views, but not everyone was happy about it. The clip got people talking for several reasons, as her caption asked where she should visit next: Zimbabwe or South Africa.

This started a huge debate in the comment section as several people commented, sharing where they thought she should visit next. However, some of the people who understood the lyrics of the song Mangoalo A Pakile by Masole A Tumelo tried to point out that her dance moves were more suited to Amapiano music than a religious song.

Why does the meaning of song lyrics matter

Content creator @OliwiaRatynska might not have known the deeper meaning of the song when she chose it for her video, where she showed off her Amapiano dance moves.

According to Chris Rowbury, a choir leader with 25 years of experience teaching songs from different cultures, it's important to honour a song by understanding what it truly means. This is especially true when it's in a foreign language.

Rowbury explained that meaning can get lost or mixed up when songs are passed around, and some people even make stuff up if they're not sure about a song's background. A word-by-word translation might not make much sense without understanding the cultural context behind it.
