The viral video showed a clip from reality TV show Uthando Nes'thembu, where the 13-year-old quickly went from crying ‘snot and trane’ to smiling as soon as he noticed the camera.

Mnini’s skills in front of the camera might have been born from the fact that he has been in the public eye for most of his life as the show chronicles the family’s life.
