Dancing petrol attendants brought all the flair to filling up, turning this petrol station into a joyful dance floor!
Still Bay, South Africa (24 May, 2023) — In South Africa, there are few things we love to see more than a groove gone viral. We’re a joyful nation that beats to the rhythm of our own drum, and the kind of country where bursting into song or dance isn’t uncommon—from traffic officers to dancing petrol attendants.
We’ve seen sports fans lead movements through song and dance—uniting communities, and even South Africans abroad bringing joy to public transport commuters.
It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from or what you do for a living. In SA, anywhere can become a dance floor or stage, even a petrol station.
Recently, a petrol attendant and his colleagues added flair to the act of filling up in the Western Cape.
At one Engen petrol station, night shift turns into a night show as Rivaldo Rossouw and other petrol attendants joined in on the viral ‘Myztro’ trend sweeping the nation.
Everyone from students to school teachers have gotten behind the catchy trend, including the petrol patrol.

However, this isn’t Rivaldo or his friends’ first viral tango.

The petrol attendant has built up a portfolio of dancing videos, showcasing many moves to South African grooves from Amapiano to Afrikaans beats, often with others joining, infected by the contagious joyful energy.

We wouldn’t be surprised if this petrol attendant changes gears and turns into a backup or lead dancer one day!
In other bold and joyful South African news, a Dainfern College student recently stole the show by taking cues from romance films and asking a fellow student to be his date to the matric dance in front of the whole school, accompanied by song.
Good news, good moves and even better music, we’re always here for it.
