Bontle Moloi, née Modiselle, received a warm welcome from her family on her return to South Africa from Sweden.

The choreographer and media personality recently travelled to the country to lead the Amapiano Dance Workshops with the AFIA festival.

On her return at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, she was welcomed by her husband Priddy Ugly and her mother and sisters Refilwe and Candice and was showered with flowers, hugs, and kisses.

Previously speaking to TshisaLIVE about the impact of her career beyond our borders, Bontle swelled with pride recalling American singer Kelly Rowland visiting her dance studio in Johannesburg and being invited to the Roc Nation Grammy brunch.

“You don't think there are certain eyes on you. You just show up and do your work and don't realise that somewhere out there is someone many kilometres away who sees your work and appreciates it,” she said.

Amputee dancer Musa Motha was recently also showered with praise on his welcome at the airport after he competed in Britain’s Got Talent (BGT).

Hailing from Sebokeng in Gauteng, Musa, who relocated to the UK in February, was greeted by a legion of fans on arrival back in South Africa.

“A huge thank you to South Africa for the warm welcome. I won’t forget this day in my entire life. Thanks to emfuleni for their love and support and the minister’s office for making time to be present for my welcome. The list goes on and on. Thank you so much,” Musa wrote Instagram.
