Cape Town — South African amputee dancer Musa Motha has inspired so many with his inspirational performance at his Britain’s Got Talent audition.
He wowed the audience at his audition with his incredible one-legged performance.
Musa revealed he had his leg amputated after he was diagnosed with cancer and his performance led the judges to award him with a golden buzzer.
However, he revealed that he was not feeling at his best just moments before his big performance. He told himself all he needed was a moment of courage, TimesLIVE reported.
“It was a lot. I was not fine on the day, to be honest. I was not nervous, I was not scared, but I was going through my mind ‘why am I doing this?’ I want to win this, and win it for the people, but if I don’t win what will that mean?,” he said.
Musa said he had given his all and was not sad at the result, as he failed to make the final three, a result that left many upset.
Despite his efforts, he fell short of making the final three but
He has been beating the odds since his amputation. He fell in love with music and dance after his amputation.
According to his mother, Ntokozo Matale, he continues to be an inspiration to all those around him.
“When Musa was sick, I was devastated. God has so many ways of showing his love to us. Musa was a strong boy through his illness and losing his leg. He has managed to get to where he is right now because of his belief. He is brave, confident and loves people,” she said.
His mentor, Gregory Maqoma, told SowetanLIVE that he was proud of his journey so far and believes he has a lot to achieve ahead of him.
“As his mentor, I’ve always worked towards making sure he achieved his goals. It was critical for me in our planning to make sure it happens as we moved forward. Seeing him on that stage means a lot to me and I know it is his time to shine.”
