The young men at Northwood School got a huge surprise when Canadian celeb Drake shared their war cry cover of his song to 145 million followers.

 

Durban, South Africa (28 February 2024) – Northwood School shared their war cry cover of Drake’s song ‘Non-stop’ two weeks ago and this week, the Canadian musician shared the war cry cover on his Instagram stories to his 145 million followers. Within seconds, millions of people had seen the proudly South African school and it started trending.

Northwood School is a secondary school based in Durban North that has both day-to-day schooling and provides boarding for students from outside the Durban North area. The young men that enrol in the school have a large offering of education and sporting programmes.

This isn’t the first time a war cry has earned the school headlines. The entire school came together last year to sing Shosholoza for the Springboks. Armed with drums, their powerful voices and endless amounts of gees, the young men added their voices to the growing support for the Springboks.

The young men’s war cry has gone viral and it is not only giving international viewers a reason to smile, but the comment section of the video is filled with South Africans loving the unity and gees the video makes them feel.

This year, the school is celebrating its 75th Jubilee Year and if this is how its starting, we cannot wait to see what else is in store!

Take a look at the viral video below.
