A 21st birthday is a special occasion for many people, as it is deemed a rite of passage into adulthood for most. One 21-year-old had the most spectacular birthday when she was gifted a brand new SUV priced at R450,000 from her parents.

Spoiled rotten

TikTokker @thoko_kopana shared the clip of the woman who was surprised by the whole experience. What shocked netizens even more was that the car was a fancy looking Jetour, a hot new rising brand of Chinese SUVs making waves in South Africa. The lady and her parents shared a touching moment before she sat down in the car.

The gift that keeps on giving

Another clip shows just how grateful she is to receive such a git. It shows her crying and being embraced by her mom and what seems to be another family member. A car is a massively impressive gift in a country like South Africa. Most people find it incredibly difficult to commute because of the haphazard and dysfunctional public transportation system.

According to ScienceDirect, 16 million commuters in South Africa use approximately 283,000 minibus taxis daily, making up for almost half of all commuters in the country.

South Africans were overjoyed for the young lady and some jokingly wished that her parents were theirs.
