Mzansi laughs at TikTok video showing gogo trolling beautiful young woman’s dance: “Granny mara”

Briefly News reported that dance videos where the person trying to groove gets trolled are the best! One young lady had her gogo casually come right in front of the camera, and Mzansi was there for her innocents.

The elderly deserve more credit than they get. Moments like this might have been inconvenient at the time but will be cherished for a lifetime, especially when that person is no longer.
