Sibling trio Biko’s Manna made South Africa so proud when they made it to the live show of America’s Got Talent! Despite not making it to the next AGT chapter, they have been embraced with nothing but support from people across the world:

 

Global (26 August 2024) — At very young ages, the Biko’s Manna trio and siblings Biko, Manna and little Mfundo have already achieved remarkable heights in their musical careers. The kids from Johannesburg are only 16, 13 and 8, respectively, but can already say that they made it to the live show performances of America’s Got Talent—the impressive peak that comes before the semi-finals.

The AGT chapter was a dream come true for the siblings who have continuously aimed and achieved dream after dream since they began sharing their gifts of song and infectious energy online.

However, it was also a dream chapter that came to an end despite a very strong performance from the group.

In spite of the AGT chapter closing, South Africans and other fans from all over the world have wasted no time in embracing the twinkling talents in support following the disappointment.

In a singing-filled video, the three channelled their emotions into harmonies, sharing the message, “Hold on, my friend, we will succeed; hear it from me. This is a gift we’ve been blessed with. We’re returning with newfound strength.”

Second to the beauty of their rendition of ‘Imithandazo’ originally by Kabza De Small and Mthunzi were the multitude of comments sharing paragraphs of love, kindness and even advice:

“Ya’ll were a HUGE success before you ever stepped foot on the stage of AGT,” wrote one user.

“Your talent is beyond the AGT show! You are meant for greater things,” another shared.

One fan beamed, “You were all amazing. Just because one door closes, another one will soon open. Keep pursuing your dreams!”

Another shared, “You are more than winners to me. Keep sharing your gifts, stay true and many more blessings will come to you!”

Another user wrote, “People know who you are!! Your time is coming! Continue to shine bright like a diamond!”

While another promised, “The best is yet to come!”

“You will make it without AGT. Talent will always win,” concluded yet another fan.

The comment sections have positively boiled over with love, support, and admiration in a powerful reminder that South Africans (and those supporting South African dreams) don’t only unite over the victories but also over the hurdles. In a world where it only takes seconds for a comment section to become fledged by negativity, seeing this kind of unity is as hopeful for all of us as it is for Biko’s Manna.
