A young man took over a moving coach and turned it into a full-on party, and the internet could not stop watching.
Digital creator Lebogang Tracy Sethosa, who has over 142,000 Instagram followers and more than one million on Facebook, filmed the moment from her seat in the upper section of the bus. She posted it on 24 October 2026, and the clip quickly spread across social media.
In the video, the man walks up holding a microphone with his phone playing music out loud, pressed close to it. The song blasting through that makeshift setup was none other than "Sister Bethina," the beloved South African party anthem originally released in 2005/2006 by Mgarimbe, whose real name is Nkosinathi Mfeka. The track, produced by Jabu Mgeni, Sipho Nyathela and Jabulani Kunene, features a sample from Aaliyah's 2000 hit "Try Again" and has been a fixture at soccer matches, rugby games, weddings and celebrations for two decades.
SA's unofficial anthem fills the aisle
The moment the song came on, the women on the bus knew every single word. They sang along without hesitation while the young man lip-synced, grooved and worked his way from the front to the back of the coach, completely unbothered by the moving vehicle beneath him. Fellow passengers smiled, laughed and held their phones up to capture the scene.
