These days, South African Matric Dances are more about the entrance than the actual outfit or event itself. And the quirkier, the better!
Which is why one student’s “grand entrance” in a Takealot truck is going viral on social media.
TAKELOT TRUCK DELIVERS MATRIC DANCE ENTRANCE
In a video posted on TikTok, a Brackenfell High School student made his Matric Dance entrance in a Takealot truck.
The elaborate entrance saw “delivery” workers open the back of their truck and unpack a life-size cardboard box. In it, the student couple stepped out to wild applause from the crowd.

In the comments section, social media users were amused at the creativity behind the Matric Dance entrance.
@jen2: “It’s really thinking outside the box.”
@deez: “This video Took A Loot”
@brandonlab: “Probably one of the best and original I have ever seen.”
WEIRD AND WONDERFUL MODES OF TRANSPORT
With Matric Dances becoming the new red carpet, learners are continuing to look for unusual ways to make their grand entrances.
In recent weeks, TikTok has been filled with over-the-top arrivals with different “modes of transport.”
They include arriving in an ambulance, a tractor, a taxi, and even a coffin!

@laudiumsun ‘Dead’ girl attends matric event in dead silence… In what has been described as the most bizarre ‘innovation’, a 17year old girl, shocked friends & others when she arrived at her matric prom not only in a hearse, but even slept in casket, & woke up dressed in black after the casket was opened in front of onlookers, much to the surprise to all those present. The post believed to be that of a certain Luthfia Ebrahim has drawn a lot of criticism which has seen by many as made in ‘poor taste’. – (Laudium Sun FB Page). #laudiumsunonline ♬ original sound – Laudium Sun
