One of Tyla's biggest fans, high school student Mollwane Madiba, took to TikTok to ask his celebrity crush, Tyla, to be his date for the upcoming matric dance (MD).
In a creative approach, he gathered his schoolmates to create a visually stunning TikTok video, showcasing their school spirit, support for Mollwane, and his devotion to the “Push 2 Start” hitmaker.
The video features students asking “Who do you think Mollwane is taking to MD?” followed by all of them answering “Tyla, obviously” since it’s well known that he’s one of Tyla’s biggest fans.
As the video progresses, the question on everyone's mind is: “Where on earth is Mollwane?” The suspense builds until Mollwane finally appears on screen, nervously but charmingly asking Tyla to be his matric dance date.

A matric dance is a night of glamour, excitement, and celebration for the matriculating class. In recent years, it's become increasingly popular for students to invite well-known personalities, including celebrities and social media influencers, to be their dates.
His school mates and TikTok users are rooting for him, praising his courage and creativity. The video has garnered significant attention on the app with over two hundred thousand likes and over three thousand comments, with many commenting on the heartwarming display of fandom and school spirit.
TikTok user, Tana, commented: “Yoh I support. Tyla needs to pull up. 😭😭”
While another user, Lesego Kgathle commented: “Mollwane, the support you have is crazy 😭 blessed” and Senzelo Mbatha commented: This is so creative🔥.Hope you get her as your date for MD ☺️❤️
Now, the question on everyone's mind is: will Tyla say yes? The chances may be high since he's a die-hard “Tyger” who has met the 23-year-old singer, and only time will tell. But one thing is certain, Mollwane's creative MD proposal has captured the hearts of many, and his matric dance experience will be one to remember should Tyla say “yes.”
