As the saying often goes “South Africa to the world”, one of the country’s overseas based stars was recently spotted doing the ‘Utshwala Bami’ dance challenge with one of her international teammates. Here’s a look!
The story
Banyana Banyana star Linda Motlhalo is flying the SA flag high in the United States, as she appears to have been helping some of her teammates at Racing Louisville FC learn the Utshwala Bami challenge.
The challenge is one of the freshest dance trends on TikTok and it is seemingly derived from the Amapiano hit single Utshwala Bami by TitoM deaturing S.N.E, EeQue, and Yuppe. To date, there’s over 1.2 million posts about the challenge on TikTok, as it has undeniably taken the world by storm.
Motlhalo seems to be doing her fair share of spreading Mzansi flavour, as she was seen doing the dance with her Nigerian colleague Uchenna Kanu.

Motlhalo is a recent addition to the Louisville squad, as she only joined the club in January from Glasgow City FC in Scotland, replacing fellow national team star Thembi Kgatlana.
While she continues to find her feet back in the US, the 25-year-old will have the qualification for 2024 Olympics on the back of her mind when she comes up against Kanu at international level.
Banyana are set to face the Nigeria women’s national team for a spot at the Paris Olympics later this year.
Desiree Ellis’ side will play the first-leg of the qualifier in Nigeria on 5 April, with the return fixture taking place just four days later at Loftus Versveld.
The winner will be drawn in Group C, alongside Spain, Japan, and Brazil.
