On 4 March 2026, Gojasi pulled up to his mom’s workplace in a brand new Hyundai Grand i10 after her shift. He had not said a single word to her about buying a car beforehand. The plan was to show up and let the car do the talking.

What the mom found when she went outside was a young man in his fresh set of wheels. Gojasi, known on TikTok as @ntandodajester, had kept the purchase entirely to himself. His mother had absolutely no idea that her son had been working toward this moment.

Mom could only give God the glory

The second she registered what she was looking at, she completely fell apart in the best way. She could not find the words to respond to what her son had just done. She began to sing a worship song right there on the spot, praising God for her son’s achievement.

Zulu dance moves and peaches

Back at home, his family and friends broke into Zulu dance moves and turned the occasion into a full celebration. Some of his friends brought fresh peaches they had picked straight from a tree at their home as a gift for him.
