In a delightful display of rhythm and camaraderie, Fikile Mbalula, the Secretary-General of the African National Congress (ANC), has captured the hearts of many South Africans by participating in the viral Skomota dance challenge. The politician, known for his vibrant social media presence and close associations with celebrities, showcased his dance skills at none other than DJ Black Coffee’s housewarming party, as well as chilling with music mogul TK Nciza.
The Skomota dance challenge, which has taken social media by storm, saw Mbalula joining the ranks of celebrities who have embraced the trend. A video of Mbalula’s spirited dance moves was shared on TikTok by TK Nciza, highlighting the politician’s ability to let loose and enjoy the moment. This particular instance occurred at the housewarming party of world-renowned DJ Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, who recently acquired a property in an upscale area.

The event was a star-studded affair, with the likes of Oskido, the Major League DJz, DJ Fresh, DJ Shimza, Oscar Mbo, DJ Zinhle, and Mörda in attendance. Mbalula’s participation in the dance at this high-profile gathering not only showcased his lighter side but also his deep-rooted connections within the entertainment industry.
While many social media users expressed delight at seeing Mbalula enjoying himself, others raised concerns about the appropriateness of a high-ranking political figure engaging in such public displays of leisure. Despite the mixed reactions, Mbalula’s dance moves have undeniably added a layer of relatability to his public persona, endearing him further to fans and followers.
Mbalula’s foray into the world of viral dance challenges is not without its detractors. The ANC Secretary-General has previously faced criticism for his pursuit of fame and his lavish lifestyle, as evidenced by his expensive taste in watches and his frequent appearances alongside celebrities. However, Mbalula’s willingness to participate in popular culture moments like the Skomota dance challenge speaks to a desire to connect with a broader audience beyond the political sphere.
