Matric dances are all about glitz, glam, and unforgettable memories — but for one Cape Town student, it became something even more special.
Instead of choosing a classmate, she decided to shoot her shot with a local rugby star, making a bold move that’s got the whole internet talking.
A Brave Gesture at DHL Stadium
Cape Town student and proud Stormers supporter, Zheté Morrie, took her shot in style.
During a game at the iconic DHL Stadium, she stood right beside the pitch, holding up a playful poster aimed at none other than Springbok and Stormers player Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
Her sign read:
“Roses are red, violets are blue, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, will you be my MD date?”
Naturally, the moment quickly went viral after she posted it on her TikTok account, with fans across the country chiming in to cheer her on.
South Africans Rally Behind Zheté
In the comments section, TikTok users wasted no time backing Zheté’s big ask. Many tagged Sacha, practically demanding he respond to her sweet invitation.
One excited supporter wrote, “He better say yes!” while another added with encouragement, “Go get your man!” The energy was full of hope, with users flooding the post with love, laughter, and eager anticipation.
So, Did Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu Say Yes?
Naturally, everyone’s burning question was whether Sacha even saw the sign — and more importantly, if he agreed to be her date.
When one follower asked Zheté if the rugby star noticed her poster, she revealed:
“He looked at me, smiled, and shook his head. So I don’t know.”
Not exactly a firm yes or no — but that smile definitely leaves a little room for hope!
Will There Be a Matric Dance Fairytale?
As of now, it’s unclear if Sacha will officially accept Zheté’s offer.
But judging by the overwhelming support she’s received online, fans are rooting for a happy ending to this charming story.
Whether he says yes or not, one thing is for sure: Zheté’s confidence and creativity have already made her a star in her own right.
