Matric ball entrances have become the ultimate showdown of creativity and flair.
What used to be a simple limo ride has now turned into an all out spectacle, with students pulling out every stop to make sure their arrival is nothing short of legendary. Think helicopters, quantum taxis, and ambulances. Yes, ambulances, anything that can make a statement is fair game.
It’s safe to say that social media is the reason behind this trend. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram have turned matric ball entrances into viral moments, with students aiming for likes, shares, and some internet fame.
It’s not just about making an entrance anymore, it’s about making an entrance that breaks the internet.
But it’s also not all about the glitz and glam. For many students, these entrances are a chance to showcase their unique personalities and creative flair.
Whether it’s arriving on a motorcycle ‘’dressed to kill’’ or coordinating a dance routine with their squad, it’s a moment to shine and show the world what they are all about.
Here are some of the over the top arrivals that have become a highlight of the matric ball throughout the season, with everyone waiting to see who will outdo who. It’s like the Oscars’ red carpet, but with way more personality and a lot less designer gowns.
Representing the now popular ‘’Bhinca’’ culture, these two young men walked their matric ball red carpet in style, holding the famous Bhinca towel and bouquet of flowers for their dates.
At this matric ball, students went for the jaw dropping entrance, coming through in tractors.

This student took it to a whole new level, this was an emergency but not in the traditional sense. He arrived as a date to the matric ball, in a dramatic ambulance entrance. Lights flashing, sirens going off as the door opens wide for him to exit.
