A group of friends turned a simple stop on a gravel road into a celebration of South African culture and music, dancing to the iconic Brenda Fassie’s classic hit.
The video was shared on Facebook by the skêrtips account and reached a massive audience of people who loved the light-hearted performance.
The clip started with two men dressed in shorts and khaki shirts dancing next to a gravel road while holding their beverages. They were moving to the legendary hit song Vul’indlela by Brenda Fassie when a third friend joined in to complete the group. The men began a friendly dance-off and made space for each other to show their best moves for the camera. One man took the centre spot and performed a mix of old school dances, including the Twalatsa, a dance routine which was made popular by Arthur Mafokate. He eventually moved to the side to let his friends take turns showing off their own impressive rhythm and footwork.

The group in Facebook user skêrtips's video continued to swap places while maintaining a high level of energy that matched the classic song playing in the background. Each man displayed unique moves that showed love for local music and dance traditions. They ended their performance with a cheerful toast and gulping of their beverages.
