While on his 28-day tour of 20 African countries, award-winning streamer IShowSpeed (also known as Speed) met with Rondebosch Boys' High School learners in Cape Town on New Year's Eve and participated in their war cry.
Born Darren Jason Watkins Jr, the American online personality did an almost eight-hour YouTube livestream of his time in the Mother City before welcoming 2026. After partaking in some quick rugby-tackling training, Speed sang with the boys, most of them in uniform. The energy was evident as the learners surrounded Speed, prompting the entertainer's bodyguards to join the inner crowd and create a space around the 20-year-old.

"Boys are probably getting paid."
@sjoya shared their thoughts online and referred to a township Speed had visited:
"It's pre-arranged for safety and for content. Do you think he can just rock up in Langa with all that equipment out of the blue?"
@Sibo_Mtafu told the public:
"I was wondering the same thing."
