WATCH: Tyla Arrives in Johannesburg with Grammy in Hand
Tyla landed in Johannesburg on Saturday, the 30th of April. South Africa’s critically acclaimed Grammy winner, Tyla Seethal’s homecoming was spectacular. She was treated like a rock star when she alighted from her DHL aircraft at OR Tambo International Airport.
The only thing more impressive than Tyla being amidst the fans, friends, and family just to welcome her home was receiving a captivatingly beautiful image of her donning a South African-themed dress and a much-cherished award to demonstrate her national pride.
Amidst the bustling atmosphere of OR Tambo’s international arrivals terminal, Tyla visibly moved, graciously posed for photos with her supporters and engaged with the media, expressing her deep-seated relief and joy at returning home after her recent triumph.
While arriving, Tyla shared a moment with SA’s Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, Zizi Kodwa, captured in a now-viral video with over 4.7 million views.

“There was never a doubt in terms of what she wanted. Tyla has always been an overachiever,” added Tyla’s father.
