The five girls who are trending for their John Vuli Gate video have finally spoken up. Katlego Mohlahlo, Lebogang Motalane, Kgomotso Aphane, Oratilwe Mokwatlo and Lebogang Motalane say they were celebrating a friend s birthday and they had no idea that their dance moves would go viral. Their dance moves to Mapara A Jazz s song, John Vuli Gate, not only entertained many fans but helped them make some money. The young women are getting gigs and brands are featuring them after the video was released.

“On their way they decided to dance at a petrol station on 11 October. “A friend posted the John Vuli Gate challenge on her WhatsApp status and we loved it”, she said.

“I didn’t think the video would be this big. We have secured several gigs; two clothing brands want to work with us, and we are also ambassadors of a beer brand” said Katlego Mohlahlo (18). About people criticising them for calling themselves stocko she said “We are young, and we had fun without a man around us. That is the reason why people are bitter. I don’t see the need for us to explain ourselves”.

“The word Stocko has been there for ages, boys have been calling women Stocko and its normal” Said Tshegofatso

Birthday girl Kgomotso Aphane said that they had no idea their video would go would receive so much attention and love, and open doors for them. Initially they had planned to go to Gold Reef City, but their plans changed because of finances.

“This didn’t mean we were going to have a dull celebration. A plan B had to be made. We celebrated at Kolonnade Mall in Tshwane”, said the birthday girl Kgomotso (19).

Oratilwe (18) said she hoped bitter people would stop harassing people online while Lebogang (19) said people will always talk.

Kgomotso Aphane s granny, Maria Kekana (72) said the respectful girls deserve the joy they received and Lebogang s mom Ouma Simelani (38) said “ All will go well as long as they continue to put effort and God in everything they do”.
