She’s become known as the Dancing “Mad Woman” Jogger and her videos are a little crazy but she’s making us all smile!

 

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (04 February 2022) – A dancing jogging woman from Umhlanga is going viral with her daily routine, but she’s not a “mad woman”; she’s just a person on a mission to share joy and love with the people around her.

Melissa Markamdeya has affectionately become known as the “mad woman” from Umhlanga on TikTok for her dancing and jogging in the streets, but the South African just wants to share her energy!

The Umhlanga resident says she just wants people to step outside of their boxes.

“I know everyone thinks I’ve lost my mind, but that’s not true. I am actually just trying to share my energy with the world. I’ve been given this gift of dance, and I just want to share it. The world has changed a lot after COVID, and I think we all need to step outside of the boxes we used to be in and become who we are supposed to be in this world. We’re all here for a special reason, and we’re different.”
