Tiktok’s favourite Sponono receives a car for his 21st birthday

Our beloved Sponono known for his infectious childlike energy just hit a major milestone—and his celebration came with a shiny set of wheels. He recently turned 21 and his mom gifted him with a car.

TikTok users went wild as the video posted by his mom showed the emotional moment he received his first car. In the video, his mom, with the username @mooi_thandeka, captioned, “It was the best night of both our lives with Sponono. My dad promised to buy me a car when I turned 21, but I already had Pono so I made sure I surprised him with one… so he took this one for both of us. But from me.”
