LOL! Springboks fans recreate infamous CEO kiss cam scene
The spoof incident took place at the Mbombela Stadium, where South Africa beat Georgia 55-10.
In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Springbok match entertainers Street Stylers recreated a viral kiss cam moment by Astronmer CEO Andy Byron and his alleged mistress, company HR head, Kristin Cabot.
Like the couple,, the South African entertainers were seen embracing in the skit. The duo quickly separated after realising that the camera had zoomed in on their intimate moment. The re-enactment left fans in the stadium in hysterics.
Angelos Goncalves of Street Stylers reposted a clip of the hilarious moment on his Instagram and TikTok accounts, captioning it: 'I felt like a CEO today'… @angelos.mov I felt like a CEO today 🤣 Thank you Nelspruit for the vibes 🤩 #fyp #southafrica #trendingvideo #foryoupage ♬ original sound – Angelo
Meanwhile, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has handed in his resignation from his company after widespread backlash to the kiss cam video.
'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. And recently, that standard was not met,' the company said in a statement Saturday, 19 July.
In a clip that broke the internet this week, Byron was caught canoodling with an employee, Kristin Cabot, during a Coldplay concert. Byron is a married man whose wife's name is Megan Kerrigan Byron.

Rhythm & words: Tutu Puoane returns home with poetic jazz tour
South African-born internationally acclaimed jazz vocalist Tutu Puoane is back on home soil and she's bringing a soul-stirring blend of poetry and jazz to local stages. The Antwerp-based vocalist kicks off her South African tour with live performances inspired by Lebo Mashile's poetry. The Wrapped In Rhythm Tour kicked off on Friday at Johannesburg's Market Theatre, marking the start of a cross-country journey that promises an unforgettable fusion of rhythm, voice and lyrical storytelling. The tour celebrates Puoane's latest double album project, Wrapped In Rhythm, inspired by Mashile's celebrated poetry collection In A Ribbon Of Rhythm. The first volume, released in March 2024, has already earned three South African jazz awards, cementing Puoane's place as one of the continent's most compelling musical voices. Puoane's return comes with a curated selection of performances ranging from full-band shows in major cities to intimate duos with long-time collaborator and pianist Ewout Pierreux. Each performance promises a unique encounter with music and poetry interwoven in real-time. Her next performance is on Saturday at the State Theatre in Pretoria. The rest of the the SA tour dates for Wrapped In Rhythm: Wrapped In Rhythm isn't just an album it's a heartfelt dialogue between two powerful Black women artists across time and medium. Puoane breathes melodic life into Mashile's words, tackling themes of identity, womanhood and freedom through a sonic lens. 'The poetry is already so alive on the page. I just wanted to amplify what was already there to give it another dimension,' Puoane shared in a recent interview. Volume Two of Wrapped In Rhythm, a lush orchestral version recorded with the world-renowned Metropole Orkest, is due for release on September 19.
