This matriculant pulled up at his matric dance in a taxi and the crowd went wild.
Learners are really going out of their way to outdo each other when it comes to their matric ball.
From extravagant pre-parties to designer outfits, matric dances have become expensive affairs.
One of the other crowd-pleasers is of course how you rock up to the matric dance.
We’ve seen youngsters pull up in flashy cars, helicopters and even coffins!
This learner certainly had a far more original take on the whole entrance scene.
He opted to make his entrance in a common taxi. He pulled up in a white taxi sitting next to the driver wearing a classic black suit.
A short clip of his entrance popped up on TikTok and the video went viral.
Bystanders clearly loved his original idea as you can hear the crowd shouting out of excitement.

Looking at the comments, people are clearly loving his original idea and praised him for keeping it so real.
“This gives me goosebumps. I love my country. We are so real and not ashamed of who we are. United we shall stand. Rize South Africa. It’s our time,” wrote one proudly South African person.
“Bro hired his Matric dance vehicle for R17.50 and saved the rest for university. #legend,” said another.
“This entrance is iconic. It will go down in history as the most South African cultural entrance ever,” commented someone else.
Another TikTok user wrote: “It’s different, cheap and will be remembered for a very long time. Prefer calling is ‘classicly unique’ … Much respect ‘Zuluboy’...”
