JOHANNESBURG - Now for a story that hits all the right notes, resilience, passion and pure talent.
Mpilo Ntsika Shoba (11), better known as DJ Influence, is turning tables, literally and figuratively.
Born to entertainment royalty TV personality Phumeza Shoba and musician Mnqobi ‘Shota’ Shoba, Mpilo faced a tough beat early on.
Diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer, at just 16 months, he fought his way to remission in 2016.
Though cancer took his sight, it never dimmed his vision.
Now, he’s proving that disability doesn’t define ability.
