On their official Instagram page, the Res Publica Awards praised Tresor for "transforming his life story of war and migration into a universal message of freedom and hope."

Reflecting on the honour, the star said the recognition was a "reminder of why and who he creates for."

"Through art, I’ve found a way to shift the narrative of refugees and African youth — to tell stories of resilience, beauty, and hope. This is a lifelong purpose, and I look forward to many more great things to come."

Tresor left his home country of the Democratic Republic of Congo to seek a better life in South Africa, where he has not only become a national success story but has also become a beacon of hope for other Africans who look up to him.

Fans were moved to tears and deeply inspired by Tresor's story, flooding the comment section to applaud him for the award.
