South African expat Musa Motha has danced his way into the hearts of Britain… and raised the flag for South Africa on the Britain’s Got Talent stage. Judge Simon Cowell said he had NEVER seen the audience react in such a huge way before. Every single person – including the judges – was on their feet for a never-ending standing ovation.
Thanks to the audience demanding it, history was made as all four judges united to give their first ever group Golden Buzzer.
The heart-warming audition took place during the show’s semi-finals a couple of days ago. Musa, whose leg was amputated after he was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, could not stop grinning. He had dreamt of this moment all his life, visualised himself up on stage.
Musa told the judges that it was his dancing friends who taught him how to dance with his crutch. Before cancer struck, Musa had been a football player living in South Africa, but says he recently moved to London in the UK, in “my favourite country, England”.
Musa hopes his performance will “inspire a lot of people out there”. Musa’s mantra is to turn ‘impossible’ into I’m Possible.
The video of Musa’s audition has already clocked up over 2.3-million views on YouTube… with South Africans proudly congratulating the superstar-in-the-making for showing the world anything is possible.
