The matric dance in South Africa is turning into a combination of MTV Cribs, and My Super Sweet 16, if the video you’re about to watch is anything to go on.

We’ve seen some choices in the past like police escorts (read: waste of taxpayers’ money), but this is next level.

Katlego Mogaladi clearly comes from a wealthy family.

If that was ever in doubt, they made damn sure that we know it now.

Here’s TimesLIVE:

“Love me or hate me, either way I’m going to shine.” So says a grade 12 pupil, who has shared her designer matric farewell with her 24 500 Instagram followers.

Katlego Mogaladi posed with a Rolls Royce and Ferrari in a silver gown designed by Gert-Johan Coetzee for her school-leaving bash on August 8.

“Mummy’s princess” apparently counts herself fortunate to be “blessed with the best” on the night of the “ball”.

Here she is in all her glory:

The cringe levels are quite something.

In other posts on her social media accounts, she cavorts in skimpy swimming wear at a pricey Cape Town hotel, depicts breakaways to Europe, including to Paris and London, as well as pamper sessions at boutique venues.

I don’t think her swimming wear matters much, but those overseas holidays sound nice.

Yeah, she’s going to do very well in the real world. Here’s a look at some of her recent Instagram posts:

I’m all for having fun at the matric dance, but it shouldn’t cost more than the average wedding.

Also, in a country struggling with high levels of unemployment, a recession, and failing service delivery, flaunting your Ferrari is nothing short of bad taste.

I blame the parents for this one.
