Unlike other viral TikTok challenges, which are well coordinated and have a structure and set moves to follow, the Loyiso dance challenge is different as it allows people to do whatever comes to mind when the beat comes on.

A content creator, madala, popular on TikTok as @petrousnkosi, was crowned the winner of a viral challenge after sharing his version of a currently trending challenge on the video streaming platform.

Madala and his grandkids show off their creativity

The clip shows the grandpa walking in the street with his young granddaughter, carrying a purse. A guy shows up out of nowhere and grabs the little one's purse, and as he starts running, the Loyiso sound starts playing, seeing madala jumping up and down and dancing.
