"We are still overwhelmed and in disbelief. We were not aware that our daughter would get so much support from around the world. This has provided her with numerous opportunities including an invitation to perform at the Kuhle Kwethu Music Festival in Durban on 17th and 18th December.
"So as a family, we are behind the girl. We are fully supporting her. We are prepared to go everywhere with her and showing and giving [her] great support as her parents."
