Innocent Masuku stuns Britain's Got Talent

Talented South Africans continue to fly the flag high as they represent Mzansi on the international stage.

With the boom of Amapiano, as well as Grammy Award-winning Tyla's almost overnight success, another local talent is making a mark in music with a genre not so popular among South Africans.

Innocent Masuku, a cheerful London-based South African opera singer, took to Britain's Got Talent to showcase his unique vocal abilities.

Donning a custom-made Xhosa traditional shirt, which he revealed was made by his mother, Innocent took over the stage with his powerful performance that left goosebumps on everyone's skin.

After wowing the viewers, Innocent received all yeses from the judges, including Simon, and proceeded to the next round of the competition.

In his performance video, the singer revealed that he was once met with criticism for singing opera:

"The worst thing was 'You won't get far with opera, so stop.'"
