Lit Gogos Keep the Groove Alive, Refusing To Call It a Night; Mzansi in Stitches

• A viral Facebook video showing gogos refusing to leave the groove captured the attention of South Africans
• Family members went to fetch them, hoping to bring them home to sleep, but the gogos were having none of it
• Mzansi netizens couldn't help but laugh, saying they now understand why their kids also prefer not to sleep at home at night

A video has gone viral showing elderly women enjoying themselves at a night party and playfully refusing to leave, leading to amusement among netizens on social media platforms.

If there is one thing Mzansi knows how to do, it is to find joy and opportunity for laughter in the mundane, especially when it involves our beloved elders completely debunking every stereotype under the sun. And that is exactly what we saw in the Facebook video Ms Faith Dips shared. In the video, a group of gogos were determined not to end their night on the town. Their young family members, sent on what they likely thought was a straightforward rescue mission, were instead greeted by an unexpected and hilarious response.

Age is nothing but a number

These gogos were enjoying themselves at "groove", and their younger family members showed up, mentioning it was time for the gogos to go home, but these gogos were not on the same page with them. They said:

“We are not tired, we are not leaving, and we are not going home. People just think we are tired and should be going to bed, but we are not."

South Africa's love affair with "groove" is deep-rooted and undeniable, a vibrant pulse that beats through the nation's social fabric. It's more than just going out; "groove" is a cultural institution, a space where people shed their daily stresses, connect with friends, and lose themselves in the music. It embodies a collective spirit of celebration, freedom, and communal joy.

The comments section of the video was filled with nothing but laughter. The video serves as proof that Mzansi truly is a fun place to be, where "groove" has no limits, no age restrictions, and certainly no early bedtimes. Some netizens simply expressed their admiration for the gogos and their free-spirited attitude and love of life.
