A video that’s amassed millions of views had some people looking at South Africa (in a good way). After all, we are a fun-loving nation known for our dance moves. So, where were the Spidermen who stole the show at a wedding from, and should we make them honorary South Africans?
Global (04 May 2025) — Some brides and grooms fear guests stealing the show on their wedding day, not a troupe of Spidermen dancers. Well, now we’ll all have to keep our eyes out for spidermen on the move thanks to a viral scene from a wedding that has the internet giggling, applauding and looking to book the superheroes for their own big days.

After the video started picking up traction, some people assumed that it “could only be in South Africa”. After all, we are a fun-loving nation known for our dance moves. And Amapiano’s tracks in the background certainly helped the argument that this could have a proudly South African vibe.
“South Africa is such a strange place, how [are] we supposed to explain this to other people,” one user wrote, which united other users who thought the same.
But alas, this is a moment South Africa can’t take credit for, as this clip hails all the way from Tanzania. And the leader of the spidermen is Jackie Nyamambaya, AKA the Tanzanian Spiderman.
However, South Africans were hardly mad at the confusion. Instead, we’re proud that our love of fun and our music are reaching other parts of the world!
So, should the Spidermen be considered honorary South Africans? And—the real question—would you ever allow them to take over the dance floor on your wedding day?
