DANCE sensation Musa Motha, who dazzled viewers across the world, missed his favourite food while he was in the UK.
The amputee dancer landed in Mzansi on Saturday, 8 July, and the first thing he wanted to eat was iskopo (cow's head).
"That's my favourite meat and I can't wait to eat it. I like the way the meat is prepared on the street corner. This meat is delicious, tender and very nice meat for men. Even in the olden days, when our grandfathers would slaughter the cow head, would only be for men," he said.
Musa, who flew the South African flag as a contestant on Britain's Got Talent, has urged young people to believe in their dreams.
"Big dreams can be inspiring and can fuel your ambitions in life. But if you are not willing to work hard, then all you have are dreams. Remember, whether your dreams are big or small, it is about the hard work you are willing to put in to achieve it."
Musa's mother, Ntokozo Matale said she hasn't been able to sleep since his return on Saturday.

"I missed my son so much that, minute after minute and went to check on him on his room. I understand he was tired after a long trip back home. But since he is back home, I can't get enough time with him," she said.
Musa's leg was amputated at the age of 10 after he was diagnosed with bone cancer.

Mamelo Amathende said: "His leg was amputated at a young age but against all odds, Musa has showed the world through his dance that there is no limit and nothing can stop someone from achieving their goal."
Local business people have also joined in celebrating Musa's achievement.
George Mollo from Kopano Events said they will offer a car and a driver to take Musa anywhere he needs to go.
"Musa has touched many lives with his courage to turn a setback into victory. He never gave up with his dance talent, and he has put South Africa on the map," he said.
Emfuleni Mayor Sipho Hadebe said: "I used to find my family watching Musa performing and I decided to find more information. Someone sent me the video clip, and I was moved by our own kasi's boy performance and came back home and told my kids about Musa's glorious talent.We do not know the difficulties his mother faced when she was raising Musa. But we are celebrating, and we are proud of him as the municipality."
