Remembering a legacy: Graduate's emotional tribute to his grandmother

Anthony Timoteus and his grandmother Aletha Muller on the day of his graduation Image: Supplied In Honour of Mother's Day, a video of a university graduate has gone viral of him showing appreciation to his late grandmother at her workplace to pay homage for all her sacrifices. Anthony Timoteus, 29, from Belville, said the video was taken in 2022 when he graduated with his Bachelor's Degree in Education at the University of the Western Cape. But he only posted the video to social media on Wednesday evening. The video, to the soundtrack of Wimpee's Afrikaans rendition of "The Lord bless you and keep you", has received 1.8 million views and shows Timoteus walking through rubble dressed in his cap and gown as he surprises his grandmother Aletha Muller at work, who is overjoyed. The two spend a moment hugging each other while his grandmother sheds tears of happiness as her colleagues look on. 'The motivation behind the video was because my granny was hard working and never wanted to stay out of work as she was the breadwinner. "So I decided to go to her place of work because she was the person who supported me financially during my time at university." #fyp ♬ original sound - Sharifa Dudley @anthonytimmytimoteus5k Jy word gemis.
