“Go Make Your Family Proud”: Boy Rejoices After Finding Placement at High School, SA Moved

• A boy who was home while waiting for the Department of Education to place him in a high school rejoiced after getting good news
• The little chap even did a little celebratory dance move in a cute video that was shared on TikTok
• The clip received love from social media users who expressed joy after hearing the good news, wishing the young man well in her studies

Finding a placement at government schools can be a stressful process for both the parent and the learner, as our schools can't accommodate every child in the country. One learner was over the moon after being accepted into a local school for his Grade 8 studies after staying at home for weeks while other kids attended school.

The boy's sister shared a video of the young man receiving the good news on her TikTok account, under her handle @lihle_maphanga, receiving hundreds of comments from touched social media users.

The boy rejoices at the good news

The boy is seated on a couch when a family member comes into the living room to share the great news. Shocked and excited, he quickly gets and moves around the room before coming back to give the person who shared the news a warm embrace.

The boy's face lights up as the realisation that he will go to school on Monday starts sinking in, and he flexes with a little dance to show his happiness. His sister shared in the caption that he has been at home since the schools opened.
