A South African comedian, Loyiso Gola, has showed off his 58-year-old mother who just graduated from the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.

The two time Emmy nominated comedian expressed that he is a little bit sad because he was not there to celebrate with his mother, adding that he is proud of her.

Read his post below:

"So 4 years ago my mom retired after 26 years of working at the bank and went back to school. She had always wanted to go to university. She was a straight A student who was born to an apartheid system that blocked her progress. She raised me and my bro @lazgola by herself."

"TODAY SHE GRADUATES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WESTERN CAPE AT AGE 58. Kinda sad I was not there to witness this moment. NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. So proud of her "
