South Africans are making their mark across the globe. One of those people flying the South African flag is singer and songwriter, Motswedi Modiba, also known as Moe, who became the first African and black person to take part in a Chinese singing competition called Sing! China. The competition involves vocalists facing each other to impress the panel of judges and get the chance to pick one of the judges as their vocal coach for the rest of the season. Seeing Moe become a part of the competition has inspired a lot of young people who have seen how there are no limits to one’s dreams.

Moe has been sharing her journey with her fans on Instagram, she said, “I took a huge leap of faith and joined one of China‘s biggest singing competitions, Sing! China. It is a competition that is loved and watched around Asia… by hundreds of millions of people. And this is the first season a black & African has graced this legendary stage. The reception since the show aired a few hours ago has been overwhelming”. She added that it is a historic moment for her, for China, for South Africa, and for the world. Moe is an award-winning artist who won the Best New Age R&B Artist at the Metro FM Awards in earlier this year. Last month she was elected Regional Representative for Africa at the International House.
