How did the duo take the internet by storm?

During her visit, Kaumba asked Chola if she’d be willing to try out some of her outfits. Chola recounted, “I wasn’t doing anything at the time, so I just said: 'OK. If that’s what you want to do let’s do it - why not? "You will miss me when I die and at least this way you will be remembering me.”
