This is a Universities graduations🎓 not College. #ProudlySouthAfrican 🇿🇦 I love your reactions Mr and Mrs Demouchets ❤️

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We use the words university and college interchangeably. ☺️

[@lorrenzom]

In the US they use both words interchangeably

[@nondumisobuthelezi4570]

@@TheDemouchetsREACT i understand , however I think he said that because in SA a University , College and University of Technology are all different. We cant use the two interchangeably here, they'll look at us weird lol

[@Amrihzeey219]

@@Cebo88understandable but in South Africa college and university are two different things.

[@zuko_sa]

100% Mfethu!

[@Noks_KZN]

I am so emotional watching this, our parents were deprived education because of the apartheid system. So when you see mothers and grandmothers lose it like that, it is because the historical chain of no graduates in the family, has been broken. 🇿🇦❤

[@beverleymasin7760]

I'm peeling onions now

🥹❤️

[@zamahsays7888]

Yhuuu this is so deep. I am a 90s baby and was the first graduate in my family.

[@Noks_KZN]

@@zamahsays7888 Same here nana, well I'm an 80's granny lol. But yes, my time came at age 32. Now in my 40's...❤

[@pakiethoko]

We've been through a lot... 🥺

[@rorisangkatane7613]

That dude who took grandma from audience to collect the degree on his behalf. The old lady sold her livestock to send that guy for tertiary education. Thats why the respect. Thats the story

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

❤❤ Thanks for telling us.

[@tozamilefunani]

The mother sold her cows 🐄 to send him to university; he’s the first graduate in his family…

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Wow! Much respect!❤️❤️

[@MelvinCheasemann-ox1vh]

[@FixieNix]

When my daughter graduated, cum laude, at Nelson Mandela University, I was overwhelmed by the way her fellow graduates and the audience reacted. The whole event was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The way she glowed, the way she was lauded, my pride and emotion...truly, there is nothing quite like a South African university graduation ceremony!

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

❤️❤️

[@NamhlaSithole]

These are so emotional. For a huge number of black South Africans, getting to university alone is a big thing. The process of getting a degree also comes with massive challenges. There are often huge sacrifices made by the entire family to get someone through so that's why you see these really big celebrations from entire families. So wholesome 💜😭

[@matomem]

When Nomfundo Moh graduated from UKZN, the Dj dropped her song while she was on stage and her graduation turned into an impromptu performance. It was lit. Then her record label surprised her with a platinum plague for her single

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Love this!

[@jd9949]

This is so beautiful. I cried the whole time watching this. Black people are breaking generational curses and they're doing it in style.🕺💖🏆👌🥇👏🎆👏👏

[@mondevuso]

This was beautiful to watch. Love my SA people

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We live them too!

[@Kushy36]

It's a decolonization of the protocols. Africans celebrate, we dance, we sing and go crazy. For far too long we had to follow the Western kind of doing things for no reason. Danko Mzanzi! It wasn't supposed to be done this way but we changed things.

[@Kushy36]

@sirkhoj 🙏🏿

[@mphommako3044]

Sometimes when we dress our parents or grandma or pa the gown it's because we honor the queen or the king who took you to school with their money and support through the struggle. We thanking them and we actually want the honor or the moment of thanks to go to them. It's some sort of acknowledgement ❤️

[@cgmzingelwayomedia1173]

The falling is called "Uqethu" and yes it's part of the dance 🔥

[@godcandidate9065]

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 "uqethu" hawemah, last heard that word bavk when i played soccer.

[@kateBlessing2861]

I am a South African 03:41 got me in tears it reminded me of single mothers headed households and the journey, the hardships, struggles single mothers goes through to get decent education for the children in South Africa, Universities are expensive, but they hustle against all odds, I am not saying she is a single mother is just a reminder. University of Kwa-Zulu Natal is the best in allowing parents and student to celebrate their achievements through dancing , plus i love the hood/belt that has design that represent African culture its very unique and refreshing I wish to enrol at UKZN this is beautiful

[@OlympiaKwetsii]

@@kateBlessing2861 it gave me goosebumps🤭🤗

[@thapelomokgwabona8209]

Here in South Africa we dont graduate from High school 🏫 we can only 🎓graduate from a tertiary instution after 3 to 4 years of studies. This is an achievement very few black people achieve. It is a big thing, when you gradute you are normally the first in your family 👪

[@TheHangout-u7y]

First in the family, I think a decade ago. But now we like 3 or 4 generation later with qualifications

[@ntokozonzama2844]

I love my people KZN🇿🇦

[@ezekielvilankulu4915]

Some of our parents especially mothers and grand mothers are very small traders ,selling small items , fruits and veggies for instance, you can imagine the little money they make to take their kids to school. So if you see those celebrations, it's also because of the sacrifices that come with such.

[@cinahlahane5498]

Yeah they always read out the rules of decorum at the beginning of the event but WE DON'T CARE, WE SHOW UP AND WE SHOW OFF😂

[@thulanidlamini2233]

America needs to allow you to celebrate your blackness. It just can't be the European culture only in times like these.

[@nomathamsanqaNgcobo-si3hz]

The song that lady sang was , (Nomangabe yizondlu zodaka, mtanami kusekhaya) roughly translated Even if it's mud huts, my baby it's Home. (For her to be proud of where she comes from)❤

[@Dumizulu_Rain]

Mrs Nqobile and Sizwe Demouchets great reaction guys, keep the African Spirit Alive Son and Daughter of the Soil ❤ If you'll be Wondering about the names Sizwe means a Nation Nqobile means Conquerer and together you become Conquerer of a Nation😊

Thank you. Much love!

They’re all making me cry I love it.😭 ❤

[@Wangao613]

I graduated from UKZN (University of KwaZulu-Natal) and we did everything; celebrated with family and threw hats up at the end.

[@siyandadexterzuma7772]

Please came at KZN Province you will learn how to do Zulu dance.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

It’s on our itinerary.😊

[@SiyaMiti_the1st]

Yeah it's college. We call them universities. I believe this is UKZN - saw the emblem earlier on

[@rorisangkatane7613]

The hardships we go through its not easy and its not everyone who reaches that stage. Poor background, not even a cent for that 4 yrs. U have to understand. The success qnd feeling is gr8 than the degree itself...my mom colapsed on my grad day

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

I understand. I am the first generation university graduate in my family.

[@raisibehappy4867]

This is beautiful, I love my SA

[@nkosnuttimccanyar1429]

The last clip made me tear up 😭

[@Zenzimkhumalo]

This only happens in the university of kwazulu Natal but other universities are strict

[@kwanelesikhosana7867]

I can't wait for my graduation day ❤🎉

[@ziphozihletiti5971]

Some universities don't allow that actually it's only the UKZN that allows this culture... If you notice the stage is the same in all videos

[@scanmatrix]

I am a NMMU alumni, we had a ball of a time celebrating & our parents and brothers and sisters and different flavors of clans making up the audience brought the vibrancy and color of true celebration.

[@kamogelo_Rae]

UJ... But the rest we celebrate 🎉🎉🎉

[@nmal446]

I clebrated at Rhodes, I stopped the show. i had to show I was Zulu.

[@sifisomncube419]

Its crazy after all we go back to our homes with no employment opportunities 😢 graduated last year and still unemployed

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

Congratulations, family. Don’t give up on yourself. You worked hard and accomplished what others dream to do. Use this time to pour into yourself and do the thing you are wondering will work. Sometimes you have to create your own opportunity.

[@nomathamsanqaNgcobo-si3hz]

It's so emotional...so so proud 🙏🏿

[@mphommako3044]

I like when you say you going to work on your balance 😂😂😂 I love that 💃💃💃💃

[@fezimaruping6864]

We go crazy on our university graduations, when I got on that stage 2months ago, now remember I'm a 44 years old mom and wife who struggled to get through my degree. My 88years old dad stood up and call me by clang name. My husband took a video everyone is just super excited. University graduation are a big deal in Mzani due to the apartheid history nor all of us got to go ro varsity.

[@bonginkosimmaseko5385]

Some of us come from really tough backgrounds, I totally relate to how they feel.

[@MalefuNhlapo-tt2yw]

I always cry when i watch graduation videos 😘

[@FinPodcast-TK]

Lol, our graduation was more or less like yours, stuck-up😅. they used to play "Gaudi amusikitu," (incorrect spelling). My mom still ululated and chanted my clan name despited the rules and that's all they could do Gen-z has a mind of it's own; pushing boundaries we couldn't 🎉🎉🎉

[@NormaJileka]

I always breakdown when i watch these and wishing my parents could have seen me too

[@phililemaphanga1749]

Hi family it's university not college tertiary education is very expensive especially for black people from rural ereas and townships its a huge achievement not for you only but for the whole family so you are allowed to invite parents and grandparents especially those who helped paying for your education it's for everyone 10:22

[@mikatekonukere5636]

[@noxiemvula6384]

Njabulo Ntombela from UKZN who was wearing the traditional outfit and fetched his grandmother from the gallery because he was raised by his grandmother with pension money after losing both his parents 😢

[@NamhlaSithole]

Is that the one where that girl did the Kanye rap? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Someone's gonna ruin all this for everyone

[@edithmpholegoale849]

Most black kids are brought up by single mothers who go through a lot of hardship to get thier kids through varsity hence the celebration and emotions.

[@1HourOf.]

Not with my introverted self😭

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

You better strut across the stage!😂

[@NamhlaSithole]

I come from a fairly reserved family and I'm arguably the most reserved of the lot. On graduation day, the varsity asked that all celebrations and applause be held until the end of each batch of names. The institution I went to was predominantly white so everyone complied and I was happy cos it meant my family would also comply cos, you know, introverts be hating any extra attention. Did my parents not make a ruckus when my name was called? I was shook! Like whose parents are these cos it certainly ain't MINE?! But I was also so happy they did 💜. As much as the extra attention was a lot for me to take in, I was the only one that got ululations and that made me so proud. Go parents 🙌🏽

[@sipnog3528]

Was this a graduation from KwaZulu Natal? Because all these graduates seem to be doing Zulu Dance. Even the traditional gear is Zulu.
