Little sister enjoys her brother's matric dance

The Briefly News team spoke with Thozamile Oarabile Ngono, the learner from Advance College Thabazimbi, who attended his matric dance with his sister as his date.

We asked the young man what her sister's reaction was when he asked her to be his date, and if she had a favourite part of the matric dance experience. He responded:

"She was so happy to be my date, and her favourite part was the entrance, plus she was so shy, but she was so happy to be there."

The team asked if he thought taking his sister on an official date would be more meaningful than taking a peer, and what message about sibling relationships he hoped to convey with this grand gesture. The learner shared:

"I wanted to make her my date obvious, and I wanted to be unique and make history with my little sister. My message to others is for them to love their siblings, make memories that they won’t forget, bring light to them and have a great relationship with their siblings."

The public praised the learner heavily for raising the bar for brothers everywhere; we asked how he feels about suddenly becoming a role model. Thozamile said:

"I feel so happy, I won’t lie. I never thought this would happen. I feel so happy to be a role model to other people. My sister and I have a great connection. I love her so much. We are just besties, I won’t lie."
