Cornet Mamabolo's throwback to his high school swag will leave you howling

Skeem Saam actor Cornet Mamabolo has posted a throwback that had many of his fans jokingly declare: “If glow up is a person”.

The actor looked back at a time in his life when his “swag” was questionable (for lack of a better word) and he wondered out loud what his matric dance partner was thinking to go with him to the dance.

I am failing to understand how my matric dance partner back then found me cool. I think you were lying to me?????…. Eish but also I was too much into arts and anything that meant me getting attention was relevant. Today I found myself singing Born To Be Stars songs, taking me back the memory lane & my heart is happy. When I loved poetry, music, dance and acting. When I would kill to just be on stage. This is one of the picture that whenever I look at it, I realize how much I was convinced that television was not my thing. I have always believed that television was for cool good looking guys that are fluent in English. The universe proved me wrong & gave me one of the biggest shows in Africa in my indigenous language. Sepedi. My friends say okare ne ke eja nyaope ?… but yeah ne ke raloka di dice ? vele, ke rekisa ma sweets ?, ke le LRC at the same time ?… I’m that crazy artist. That crazy artist now in business. That crazy artist that loves the art of storytelling. This was 2009. Don’t commend please ? www.digniadmin.co.za @dignifinancialservices

“I am failing to understand how my matric dance partner back then found me cool. I think you were lying to me …” he said jokingly.

Cornet tried to defend his past style and said in retrospect he blames his “love for the arts”.

“Eish but also I was too much into arts and anything that meant me getting attention was relevant.”

The star shared that he was blind to the sentimental value the 2009 picture had and he added that at the time he didn’t believe he would ever make it to the small screen.
