Such a touching story. Going through so much and still being so positive and wanting to learn and help his friends learn.. hes an inspiration and a wonderful singer. :)
Mteto Maphoyi is such a beautiful and inspiring person. We can all learn so much from his experiences - from both his troughs and peaks in life. What makes me so inspired by Mteto, is how much he values others over himself - how selfless his is. This is something which I feel is a necessity for everyone to strive for in society today. It's the power of listening that will unite people together and make this world a better place in the future.
when they showed the clip of him and his friends singing and then the gang a couple feet away, it felt like they were singing a very tragic soundtrack to it... made me tear up :/ very touching!!
it’s very hard my brother because we can have what we want but we still think america is the new world,and now africa is the new world also,our new world. good day brother.
Your story is truly inspiring, Bhuti. Please continue to represent the Xhosa tribe well. Thank you for sharing with us; please do more of these in the future. I like the fact you keep reminding us it wasn't easy whilst you have the brightest smile enkosi siyabulela.🙏

Man i love when humans smile it genuinely makes me happy gives off a positive vibe This is great i love Ted Talks They are great a break from the americans and their politics
Such a beautiful voice.... And such a magnificent story... I only liked this video because of him, I wish him the very best, and hope he does well in his practices:)
I didnt lol and since you commented and I came to see what you said I actually watched it again and it started off my say nicely....thanks to you~ take care!
westsi1 erm he LISTENED to the CD his father left - and as a result became an operatic singer with no formal training - who also taught his friends to do so - despite his circumstances which has now lead him - despite being stabbed in the face and neck - to having an amazing career, going to one of the top schools, being in an amazing ensemble - at the age of 23 - and is now doing a TED talk which you perhaps weren't 'listening' to ? 🤷♀️
That's actually a paraphrasing, misattributed to Ghandi. He expressed those sentiments, but he was not the first and he was a little more verbose about it. Still a wonderful sentiment I prefer to propagate and carry with me always.
You can almost feel the joy bursting out of this kid
A handsome and intelligent young man. May God bless him.
+UA-camx Like he did when he took his mother, aunt, grandma and everyone he loved.
Yes, what a cool man. With a good sense of humor
His smile radiates good vibes. He's amazing
This is truely emotional. Sometime we think we experienced the worst, until we hear other people stories
This is true for me so yeah from then on i try not to be so Narcicistic
How inspiring! Many blessings to you Mteto. You radiate so much joy, gratitude, simply beautiful.......
The sparkle in his eyes ....... what an amazing story.
I think that when his father left his home, broke his heart, but it was the best thing he could do for his son.
He's absolutely lovely to listen to. Such a great presentation. Easy to follow his voice and transitions from one to another.
His voice is beautiful thank young man for your wisdom
His face is contagious! Beautiful, inspiring young man! Wonderful TED Talk!!!! A+!!!

Nice presentation but, what did it have to do with LISTENING?
westsi1 erm he LISTENED to the CD his father left - and as a result became an operatic singer with no formal training - who also taught his friends to do so - despite his circumstances which has now lead him - despite being stabbed in the face and neck - to having an amazing career, going to one of the top schools, being in an amazing ensemble - at the age of 23 - and is now doing a TED talk which you perhaps weren't 'listening' to ? 🤷♀️
Does anyone know what he said at 00:45?
How can I find out transcripts?
this was so painful to watch

What has money to do with this. Did you even listen to the whole story? He isnt a greedy man.
He can do it for the money ;)
0:44 AHAHAHAHA
I like but?
The towering shell expectantly confuse because methane progressively grip except a tiny slip. succinct, impolite softdrink
You can spell his name but you can't pronounce it...
Just...no.
