Despite her rise to global stardom, South African singer Tyla has not forgotten her roots.

After accepting her second AfriPure International Achievement Award at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs), the global star treated fans to an official takeover of the famous Gold Reef City.

The ‘Water’ hitmaker took over the theme park to celebrate the release of her ‘A*Pop’ album.

Gold Reef City was turned into an ‘A*Pop’-themed park, with pink merchandise, photo booths and even pink burgers and pizza on the menu.

Of course, Tyla also treated her fans to a live performance.

“I’m so happy that you guys came through. You guys look beautiful. We’re gonna have fun. I want you guys to enjoy, have a good time. It’s crazy. I did not think it would be this crazy,” she said on stage, in awe of the turnout.

Social media was also flooded with videos of the singer enjoying some of the theme park rides at Gold Reef City.
