Cape Town — Inspirational dancer Musa Motha has danced his way into the hearts of fans around the world after his incredible performance on Britain’s Got Talent.
Motha’s appearance on BGT had the audience and judges on their feet in applause, even bringing some to tears with his inspirational back story and journey to becoming a dancer.
Musa, now 27, revealed his left leg was amputated due to cancer when he was a young boy. He decided to take up dancing after he saw his friends do it. And he’s not looked back.
He flew the South African flag high and proud at the BGT finals, but unfortunately did not win. According to The Citizen, Musa said he would continue to work hard and do his best to further his career.
“I will continue to work hard and smart and endeavour to inspire people. In everything I do, I do my best,” he said.

Motha said reaching the final of BGT was like a dream that he did not want to wake up from. The exposure alone has afforded him an opportunity to inject greater momentum into his career.
In the aftermath of his loss, he revealed he stayed away from social media because he felt as if he failed by not winning, but he quickly bounced back after he was awarded an emerging artist award at the UK’s National Dance Awards.
“In life we focus more on the future and don’t realise we are in the middle of what we prayed for. Just last night I was avoiding to check my socials because I felt like I have failed the world by not winning the @bgt even not making it to the top 3/2,,, but then I have realised how blessed I am to have reach so many hearts and my mission is complete.
Thank you to @bgt for the opportunity. And guess what??? Today we won an award for the Emerging Artist ???????✨✨✨. Thank you National Dance Awards for this beautiful award and recognition.” he said.
