Below is Nomthi's full post that she shared to the #ImStaying group:
"It was March 2019 when he took part in Talent Africa Nationals. He participated in the regional competition without a coach, his sister and I were his teachers not knowing what we were doing but he managed to go through the national competition.
"He was so desperate to be part of the National competition but now he needed to have a qualified dance teacher. I approached Gabriel Scholtz, who was one of the organisers; he helped us with the registration and invited him to his Dance school so that he could see how he could help him.
"The boy attended for a month or six weeks at Diversity Dance school under Gabriel. The teachers loved him because he is a fast learner and very committed. He went to the national competition, he managed to bring home 3 gold medals and a Top 10 award that was awarded to 10 dancers out of 800 in his category.
"I just wanna take this moment and say thank you Gabriel and the team for grooming my son and make him famous. And for that, I am staying in our South Africa. #ImStaying"
