Mollwane Madiba hits the airwaves in his quest for a matric dance date with Tyla
Will Tyla accept Mollwane Madiba's invitation to the matric dance? Image: Instagram As the matric dance season approaches, excitement builds for many high school students in South Africa. For Mollwane Madiba, the anticipation is particularly intense as he hopes to invite global superstar Tyla to be his date for the upcoming event. Mollwane, a devoted fan of Tyla and son of Princess Tirelo Molotlegi of the Royal Bafokeng Nation, has been on a mission to get the talented singer to accept his invitation. The quest began in February when he launched the 'Mollwane and Tyla for MD' challenge on TikTok, which quickly went viral. In a creative approach, Madiba gathered his schoolmates to create a visually stunning TikTok video that showcased their school spirit and support for him. The video features students asking, 'Who do you think Mollwane is taking to MD?' followed by the unanimous answer, 'Tyla, obviously', highlighting Madiba's status as one of Tyla's biggest fans. Tenacious 'Tyger' In an interview with 5FM's Jodell Tantji, Madiba explained how the idea originated from his love for Tyla. 'I've been a Tyla supporter for a while, and my friends know that I love Tyla,' he shared.
