- A video was shared showing a beautiful young woman being called up to collect her degree

- During the process, she continuously shouts out to her mother and the moment was caught on camera

- Social media users fell in love with the footage and the video has gone viral.


With graduation fever in full swing, social media has been overloaded with photos and videos of young South Africans being capped. One of those stood out as it struck a chord with social media users, attracting nearly 3 000 likes, and has been viewed 76 000 times. The video shows how a beautiful young woman is called up to accept her degree from the University of Cape Town.

As the lady walks up to be capped, she continuously smiles and shouts out to her mother sitting in the crowd. Tweeps fell in love with the video and many shared how it touched their hearts.


Briefly.co.za noted that one of the senior members of the university was in attendance on social media as well.


Others who attended also explained how the graduation ceremonies have livened up in recent times.

Based on the reaction, the video served as a timely reminder of the sacrifices Mzansi mothers make for their children.

A light-hearted tug-of-war even took place as different factions wanted to claim the graduate as their own.
