The little girl from East London had her mother, Fundiswa Ndzendze, post this video on Facebook which has now opened so many opportunities for her. She has been invited to one of the best music festivals in KwaZulu-Natal during the festive season to share her gift.

Her father, Bongani Ndzendze, has also since shared that the support they received on their daughter’s journey has been amazing and they could not express their gratitude.
