The most joyful South African hopped onto a train in Paris and even brought smiles to Parisians while on board.
Paris, France (05 May, 2023)—A train in Paris enjoyed an extra dose of happiness and Parisian surprise thanks to one South African passenger.
Bursting out into song isn’t reserved for Disney movies when you’re a South African, and Indlovukazi Mapule was the star of the unplugged show, making one train ride in France feel closer to home.
In South Africa, public transport is often met with a little song for the ride, so why not give France a feel of what it’s like to commute in SA?
Taking to TikTok, the South African abroad shared a clip of her vocals and groove, which some passengers joined in on too by clapping her along.
She was applauded for her windpipes, even while disembarking the train.
In what appears to be a different clip, more women sang together, bopping in confidence and smiles, and we love to see it.
