One of the most admirable qualities of South Africans is their tendency to shine on an international stage.
This has been proven time and time again, from the victorious Springboks rugby team to Grammy Award winner Tyla, to the singing group, The Joy, who wowed crowds at Coachella with Doja Cat, and most recently the trio Biko’s Manna who impressed audiences on the Jennifer Hudson show.
With the rest of the world having already become massive fans of the South African dance genre Amapiano, the American singer recently invited the young trio consisting of Biko, Manna and Mfundo to make an appearance on her Jennifer Hudson show.
It was here that one of the members, Biko Star, took the opportunity to teach the Spotlight singer a few moves from one of TikTok’s most popular dance challenges Tshwala Bam.
With Jennifer eventually growing in confidence as she mastered the shoulder movements of the choreography, the crowd went into hysteria and applauded the host.

It appears that Jennifer has a special spot in her heart for the siblings, as it was not the first time she invited them to appear on her show.
Taking to their Instagram page they wrote: “Wow, wow! We have no words to express how grateful we are to be called back Jennifer Hudson Show.
“To think that we sat on the couch where every artist and amazing person has sat on was so humbling and we were filled with so much joy and loved chatting with you!”

They ended, writing: “Thank you, Jennifer Hudson and the team, for all your love and generosity and taking good care of us backstage.”
The group later thanked their supporters for the continuous support that brought them this far.
According to The South African, the group is originally from Johannesburg and comes a rich musical background.

They are the children of singer and actress Ayanda Nhlangothi and Sebone Rangata. They felt involved with music after their father returned from overseas with Japanese pop music and have begun making their own music ever since.
