DJ Influence! Phumeza and Shota’s Blind Son Shows His Skills On the Decks
Phumeza and Shota’s Blind Son Shows His Skills On the Decks. Disability is definitely not inability. Mpilo Shoba might be blind, but this has not stopped him to live a normal life and go for his dreams. His heartwarming videos on social media constantly leave many inspired.
10-year-old Mpilo was diagnosed with Bilateral Retino Blastomas, an eye cancer, when he was 13 months old back in 2014. He unfortunately lost both his eyes as the tumor did not respond to treatment. He is now cancer free, but sadly lost his sight. Mpilo wears prosthetic eyes. His parents Phumeza and Shota Mdabe, continue to do all they can to make his life comfortable, and this includes finding him a good school.
In 2022, the young champ nailed Braille, just soon after he started learning at school. This was a proud moment for his parents, as well as his many social media followers. Phumeza, who runs Mpilo’s Instagram page, also loves sharing heartwarming videos of his sensing abilities. Mpilo can sense when his mother is in the car, and he can also tell, that she is around when she comes to pick him from school. From the videos one can tell Mpilo has a big personality, and is an eloquent speaker.
Well, there is another thing, the young charmer is a DJ, a very good one for that matter. Recently he showed off his skills in Play Room, a children’s channel that combines education and entertainment. DJ Influence was amazing in the talent corner, such that viewers and the presenters couldn’t get enough of him.
“A few weeks ago @play_room300 invited @mpilontsikashoba to the Talent Corner, he did very well😊,” mommy gushed.
“He calls himself “DJ Influence.” 😅 He is getting good at this,” daddy said.
