TIKTOK sensation and the "Michael Jackson of Durban" is in demand!  

Dancer Dumisani "TellUs" Simelane has won many hearts in the country with his dance moves on social media platforms and around the streets. 

The 28-year-old from the Umlazi K section imitates the late Michael Jackson. 

He told the Daily Sun that when he started performing at train stations and beach fronts, many people didn't believe in him but knew he would make it one day. 

"I’m a hardcore fan of the legendary Micheal Jackson since high school. I have been impersonating him all my life.  

"I am currently performing at clubs, weddings, and functions. I am looking to do more venues and events," he said.  

The dancer said he had to keep it within lows for some time because he couldn't go commercial by impersonating such a big brand.

"I’m known as the Micheal Jackson of Durban. I am doing his dances so well from Moonwalk and other dances.  

"This is a dream come true for me. I never thought it would be like this, though I had wished for it. I don’t sing. I mime and dance,” he said.  

He said he never thought he would make it this far with his dance moves.  

"I am doing wonders with this role. My soul and passion kept pushing me to this far," he said.  

"This is a blessing for me. I am winning hearts with this character,” he said.   

He said he wants people to remember the late Michael Jackson through him.  

"I loved Michael Jackson's rare talent and his love for humanity. He will always be my role model," he said.
