It is a sad morning in South Africa as we woke up to the news of the passing of Ndlovu, also known as Ndlovu WaseBhayi / Ndlovu Wayigeqeza.
Ndlovu was a young boy from Veeplaas township in Port Elizabeth who had a medical condition that made his head shake.
Ndlovu came into the spotlight a couple of years ago with a video of him reciting his clan names and he was an instant hit.
