I grew up just like any other child in rural South Africa it was not long after our country South Africa had held its first democratic

elections. I was a good football player and an athlete, we used to head cattle and I would play in the jungle with other boys. I was very naughty as a child and I think that is where I discovered my Art,” Limpopo Boy said in a recent interview with South African media.

“A lot of people realised my gift and talent at the South African State theatre and I later graced a lot of great platforms including The SAMAs and the MTV Base Awards. I’m a bujwa dancer thus my stage name is derived from my dancing category and my origins.

“My dancing skill is not based on bujwa only, I add more moves to spice up the jive. I started dancing at a very tender age, but before embracing this talent I started playing football, unfortunately, it wasn’t my calling.”

Anyway, how does something called “Sdudla” end up being called “John Vuli Gate”?They were praising a companion’s birthday and had no clue their move moves would circulate around the web.

Their moves to Mapara A Jazz’s tune, John Vuli Gate, charmed numerous fans as well as helped them bring in some cash.

The youngsters are getting gigs and brands are including them after their move.

Birthday young lady Kgomotso Aphane (19) disclosed to Daily Sun they had no clue their video would get so much love and open entryways for them.

They’d at first wanted to go to Gold Reef City, however changed plans in light of accounts.

“This didn’t mean we planned to have a dull festival. An arrangement must be made. We celebrated at Kolonnade Mall in Tshwane,” said Kgomotso.

They chose to move at a gas station on their way and recorded themselves on 11 October.

“A companion posted the John Vuli Gate challenge on her WhatsApp status and we cherished it,” she said.

Katlego Mohlahlo (18) didn’t figure the video would be this large.

They’ve made sure about a few gigs, two apparel brands need to work with them, and they’re likewise ministers of a lager brand

To get the answer to that, we have to rewind to 2005.

The cinema world has just been set ablaze by a swashbuckling-yet-heartfelt South African movie called “Tsotsi”, which goes on to claim an Oscar amongst its many international awards.

In one of the most memorable scenes in the movie, the character called Pumla (played by Nambitha Mpumlwana) emerges from a car on a stormy night and shouts into the intercom, “John vuli gate!” (John open the gate).

Mano Nephawe and Leonard Malatji, the South African duo who perform under the name Mapara A Jazz, took that one line from the movie and made a song out of it nearly 15 years later.

Limpopo Boy took the song, did his Sdudla thing to it and here we are today with a new craze.
