A Johannesburg woman has left South Africans emotional after sharing the moment her grandmother surprised her with a car. Sihle Kubeka posted a video on 22 January 2026 showing the special moment her gogo arrived with an incredible gift.
The video started with the young woman recording from her room through the window. She heard her grandmother arriving and opening the gate to come inside the yard. As her gogo walked in, the young woman asked if she bought it, and her grandmother smiled and nodded yes. The granddaughter immediately started walking towards the entrance of the home to go outside and see her new car.
Once she got outside, she began filming the VW Golf Mark 1 that her grandmother had bought for her. She was clearly excited as she showed the car from every angle, capturing the view from start to finish.
According to experts at Sentimental Shop, the VW Golf GTI is arguably one of the most loved cars in South Africa. More than half of the Golfs sold in the country are GTI models, which shows just how successful and popular this car has been over the years. The Mark 1 GTI, in particular, has become an iconic classic that many South Africans dream of owning.

What made the GTI special wasn't just its performance. It was a regular car with an extra layer of performance that didn't cost too much but still provided driving thrills.
The car also featured the now-legendary golf ball gear knob, designed by chief designer Herbert Schäfer, who was a keen golfer.
