A South African priest has become an unexpected sensation in Kenya, thanks to viral TikTok videos of him dancing and having fun during mass.

Karabo Lephuthing, known as @karabopapak on Tiktok, has captivated Kenyan audiences with his good looks and relatable content.

His videos show him dancing to popular TikTok sounds and enjoying himself during mass, which has thrilled his congregants and Kenyan women alike.

Risper Njeri, a TikTok creator, stitched a video of the priest jokingly singing the popular Catholic song "Twende sote nyumbani mwake" on the platform.

Her video gained a lot of attention from Kenyans who were curious to know who the priest was and where he was from. This sparked a frenzy among Kenyans, who found the priest's TikTok account and began expressing their feelings to the man of God.

Kenyan women have been flocking to Karabo's TikTok account in droves, expressing their deep affection for the priest. Some have even gone as far as expressing their willingness to travel to South Africa to attend his church services.

Others have jokingly suggested that they will reach out to President William Ruto to invite Papa to come and bless Kenyan worshippers.

One TikTok user commented, "Jewel's_Lina: Where is this church abeg?"

Another user, Sonnie, said, "Ruto we need this man of God to pray for our women pls and we promise we shall change completely."

Abby@123 also commented, "With all due respect man of God can you hold a holy mass at Kasarani stadium, coz we need you to perform a miracle in Kenya ?? but we do crossbreed."

Papa's dancing and joyful spirit have also thrilled his congregants, who have shared multiple videos of him doing what he loves.
