UKZN law graduate celebrates great-grandmother
Today is Freedom Day and as we celebrate this milestone - we caught up with a University of KwaZulu-Natal law graduate who recently captured the hearts of social media users when a touching video went viral.
Njabulo Ntombela draped his great-grandmother in his gown and led her onto stage to show his appreciation to the woman who raised him.
eNCA’s Dasen Thathiah chatted to the pair about what Freedom Day means to them.

This grandmother is my role model. When parents are not present, grandparents should step in and raise the child 100% the same as parents would have done...siyabonga Gogo

We cant say grandparents SHOULD step in. They have already done their part the first time around for parents.That is why this is so moving,because it is a sacrifice and because it is not owed but rather offered with love and realy commitment.
Grand parents are the best 💔😭 I cried when I looked at this I wish all universities can allow this coz we have to honour n dedicate our degrees to people who sacrificed their needs in order for us to get education congratulations Njabulo bro 🎓🎓🎓🎓

Ohhhhhhhh, thank you so much Jesus. Non of this would have happened without your presence, protection, and faithfulness upon Njabulo. Thank you even more for blessing gogo with a gift of life that she lived to see and testify about a big special day of his grandson. It was never easy Njabulo, but you have made it this far. View your self as a hero and be proud. Congratulations 🎓🎓. Gogo, I have great respect for strong women like you. Stay blessed.

I'm in tears. Just couldn't stop myself. This is out of this world. May God bless this family especially Gogo, and for Njabulo to live a fulfilling life for honouing his great-Gran. Congratulations.
Literally in tears Njabulo 😭😭😭 you're lucky one guy to have such an old lady loving you this much and most of all may the Lord bless your journey and keep Gogo for you up until you're financially stable and do everything and anything for her💜
This story brought tears in my eyes. The Ntombela boy is truly humble. God bless them both and give granny more years to leave and enjoy the fruits of her hard labor 💝💝

May your granny see many more years of health and prosperity. May she live even longer to see your success.
You never know who you inspire!!! Wowwwwwww I'm touched and inspired talk about intelligent, respectful and a true warrior. Thank you my brother bless your great grandmother. 🙌
I had never seen his video only the dancing Zulu female graduate. I couldn’t stop crying when him and his Great-Grandma went on the podium for capping. I’m still tearful as I type. Whet a joy , I wish his all the best and may she live long to enjoy a better life since he will be working. And I’m sure he will definitely do right by her.
I just couldn't hold my tears,I wish my grandmother was still.alive to honor her in such a way because she really sacrifices all her life and her own home to make us reach were we are. May our heavenly Father rest her precious soul in peace. I give a lot of honor to this great man,only few could do this to their life one. May you live even more than your granny age in Jesus mighty name. Amen
Young man thank for recognising Gogo's effort. I hope you suceed in everything you do, your grandma is your living angel. Kuhle moya wami , kuhle.....I hope you find a sponsor, very touching story👏

Great mother !!so proud of you brother !!you and grandma won!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭ohhhh my God. Be blessed beyond a curse Njabulo. I'm humbled 🙏🙏🤝
Grandparents are precious. After all the sacrifices they make for us, they always still feel like they need to make more. Imagine she was still thi king of building them a home. True freedom comes with real opportunities. Not those we have to struggle for. What he had to struggle for was child's play in the same South Africa

Go Njabulo! Go ! What you did to your grandmother, touched my heart. I found myself crying like a baby. ( I am 65 years). Well done young man.
Thumbs up for the oldest lady👍👍 person like me derives from these old friends
my gran has been with me through it all. I remember going to an isizulu school while Im sotho. she tried helping me with homeworks and my answers would often be wrong because of direct translation from sesotho to isizulu. how I wish she would be present to see me wear a Red gown and be called on for my doctorate.

Heeyy!! So touching, what a lovely & caring grandmother!
I'm so touched about what your altruistic and benevolent act achieved for your Grandma and yourself. I still vividly remember back in high school in the dormetories when you would host your daily news show and we would come to listen to all the funny, made up headlines. Unwele olude Mahlobo! Mpangazitha! Nin' enipheka ngembiz' ende. Well done! Brother. I'm truly inspired.
