SHE just wanted to cheer up her friends and make them forget about the financial stress that comes with the month of January.
In the end she cheered up the entire country.
Senzi Mathaba (24) from
Empangeni, northern KZN, took to social media and later took the airwaves by storm when her video, which is 13 seconds long, went viral.
In the video Senzi, dressed in a white skirt, takkies and pink top, is seen hiding her face from a friend who is shooting a video of her as she walks.
To the amusement of others, Senzi turns around in farm girl style and says: “He he! Ungidividiyelani manje?”
It seems she doesn’t know the difference between a video and a DVD. However, this is far from the truth.
Senzi is a happy and outspoken nurse who works and lives in the Durban CBD.
She told Daily Sun she wanted to make her friends laugh.
“I made the video last week when I was at home in Empangeni,” said Senzi.
“I’m not embarrassed despite people assuming that I’m dumb.
“As long as people are laughing I’m happy.
“I never thought the video would make me so famous.
“I now see even actors imitating me as they go on a DVD challenge.
“I asked a friend to take the video and the words just came out.
“I sent it to my friends on a WhatsApp group and from there it went viral.
“Many people who saw the video said it took their January blues away.”
