Graduation Celebrations 2019! 

I am a UJ student. Watching this(last year) really encouraged me to study hard......and guess what! I will be graduating in 12 days.

Each and every graduate here deserves their time to shine. A lot of people do not understand that completing that degree means passing through depression, anxiety, hunger, stress and a whole lot of other things, and as a result, some students commit suicide before completing because there is so much to conquer along the way. I am happy to see their parents rejoicing in this manner, after all, we all celebrate in different ways. Some celebrate through tears, some through ululation and some through clapping, but through it all, big ups to each and every graduate. You all deserved it. All the best with your future endeavours.

Our black parents😭😭😭😍💖🙏 God bless and keep them for us! 🙌🙌

These are single mothers you can tell😢😢I almost cried

Yes I'm graduating in two week's time 🎓💃😭 Bcom Accounting Unfortunately my mom passed away on my second year 😢 I know she's so proud of me Argh guys I'm literally in tears 😭😭😭 our mothers are champions

Black mothers are bomb y'all..i hope my momma goes crazy on my graduation😍

I wish some universities can stop making graduations too formal. I love UKZN ceremony. I graduated in 1996 and I could still hear my late mom's ululations. I am graduating my Honours Degree after a loooooong break on the 23rd April and I so wish she was here because she would be so happy🕺🕺🕺🕺

Whenever I'm lazy to study i come this side😭😭this is such an inspiration ❤❤ I'll be completing my degree next year, may Almight God carry me through, it's really not a walk in the park😭

Cried watching this video I'm thinking of my mom.

This video inspired me to reach for greatness and never forget the reason why i am at UKZN...To get my degree and make my family proud😟🎓#Single mothers you are my Rock❤

This video will never get old❤️🕯

Zulus are so cool and fantastic... love them... being happy in little little things, celebrating our existence in this beautiful world will definitely add new colours in our plumes... go get it... the entire universe is yours...

I've watched 👀 this video 5 times and everytime my tears come out 😥 this is so beautiful 💪 black parents👩🏾, Mom I pray 🙏to God to protect you and keep you safe for me so that you can see me 🎓👩‍🎓graduating one day ❤️

I don't know how many times I've watched this video. Such beauty, such inspiration!!

Ukubona abazali bejabule kanje..kuletha zinyembezi zenjabulo

Making our parents proud is the most beautiful gift ever

This brought tears in my face....am really out of words

I didn't get the chance to go to college or university but what am doing my mama fells proud of me..I love you mamaa

WOOOws guys African women will make you proud everytime>

This made me emotional. As a previous graduate of UKZN, seeing those mothers rejoice at Sport Centre💃💃. That building, dreams are made there, I remember writing my exams. When I see those mothers dancing with pride n joy, I know exactly what's going through their minds. The struggle of getting us through tertiary while trying to survive poverty is no joke. Anyhoo, well done to all the graduates🤩🤩 and big up to iMbokodo💪

The best graduation ever. Can't wait for my daughter to graduate. This video gave me tears of joy. Congratulations

Watching from WIts 🙌🙌🔥🔥 May God bless all students so that they get their desired results to make their parents proud 🙏🙏🙏

😭😭😭 this made my eyes tearly..l also wanna make my mom proud of me so bad 😭❤❤🎓

Heroes and heroines tend to cry when they done, while imagining all their loneliness, ups and downs, friction, fear, failure... During their grooming process and predicament, they stand still, strong and bold till the end😊😇💪. On other side, these African princesses(moms) they're nailing it👌... Much love from our moms, giving us what they never had for them before, the opportunity, support, advices, shoulders to cry on, inspiration and motivation. African moms, you're the centre of the universe, Imbokodo... When it seems there's no way, they always find a way. Raise and shine always, power to you, Black Woman!!!

Awu Madoda, ukube usekhona umama ngabe uyalilizela, ukube usekhona ubaba ngabe uyagiya manje. Kwakuhle kwethu. ukuzala ukuzelula

This is dope😍...Mom very soon im going to make you proud

its horrible how we sometimes forget how much our parents go through so that we make it through. On day I will make my parents proud.

These mothers halve worked so hard :( I am weeping love, Haiti 🇭🇹

I wish if my mom was alive dance for me like those beautiful mom's

Seeing parent celebrating their children's "success" is highly Touching

Didn't I shed a tear after watching this ? yeah all our dreams are valid. Let's keep pushing .❤🥳🥺

Pride of an African Mother!!! WOW, my eyes literally teared

I am crying. All these proud mommas made me cry. I remember how proud my mama was when I graduated and my papa too. Let me finish with a prayer in my language (Yoruba) for these happy parents: e jeun omo pe pe, ko ni koro lenu yin. Won a diru, won a digba fun yin. Amen!!!

A mother is a gift

one of my favorite university in Africa I'm so proud of university of kwazulu-natal

I'm a UJ student who will be graduating next year. This video got me very emotional and encouraged me to study hard. I showed my mom and told her to do the same (lol as if that's allowed at UJ). Unfortunately, my mom passed away this year January. RIP mom 💔

Watching this gathering and celebration during lockdown makes reflect how we take life for granted.

I looooove that these mothers or family members were JUST as proud!!!! I am honored!!!❤️🖤❤️🖤

I don’t know I see my mum when I see these black mums celebrating. Yes I’m crying. 😔❤️

This made me cry. I wish my parents could Show like this how proud they are of me.

Parents are happy

The sound enthusiastically deteriorate the effect of the video on my mind to such an extent where it creates this vivid picture of my mom beatifically celebrating my stunning victory(graduation)😊❤ But anyway "patience is virtue" Adv. Ngobeni🕯

I cant wait for my parents to go crazy like this on my graduation day🙌

This just made me cry tears of joy. I'm happy for them, one of the best moments and memories for life❤️☺️

On my graduation day I was so emotional I came back home & went straight to bed. From having to power through in a car accident that nearly cost me my life,broken bones measure surgeries,writing assignments straight from a 2'months hiatus in bed,my classmates bring me notes to study & books to catch up. At that time my family is abroad & I am on my own relying on my cousins for support.But I made it graduated in LLB from the University of Swaziland.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍....God bless our beloved Mothers who in thick and Thin never give up on us!.

Tears of joy I cry for each of these beautiful Queens and their strong mother warriors

Il n'y a rien de plus gratifiant que la fierté d'une mère 🙏☺❤💋

I saw this video on Facebook, I thought of my mother and I cried # priceless moments proud mothers. I was touched... ❤

Uma usuku 11 seconds ngiyavela nami. I am happy

Wow😢😢 wonderful.yantle lento ndiyibona apha

Oh bethuna bazali bacinga emva apho besuka khona nabantwana nabo Phambili ngoo mama bethu WOOW

I just had a rethink why I still mourn my mum after 26 years and I realized that I still hadn't gotten a replacement. She was my biggest CHEERLEADER any day any time. So if you got yours please enjoy every bit of it.

Wow and wow.. Just looking at all the emotions 👌👌Well done

These are the sweetest things I have ever seen so far
