DISLIKED by his peers for no reason, motivated 20-year-old Ero Nambinga, better known as “Kid Ero”, aims to dance his way out of loneliness.
The rising star attributes his success to taking a leap of faith and joining his school talent show some years back, which motivated him to keep going.
Nambinga stated that he still does not understand why he was hated by his peers in school or his environment.
“I was never accepted in my environment, I was hated for no reason. But all that motivated me to keep dancing,” he said.
Nambinga stated that the first time he performed at his school was the first time he received love from his peers and he continued to dance, until today.
Today, Nambinga is the only Namibian dancer nominated for the African Social Entertainment Awards in the category of best dancer of the year.
He indicated that this being his first-ever African nomination is a huge achievement in his career.
“I would be going against big, well-established dancers from around Africa and I need every Namibian’s vote to bring the award home,” he said.
He stressed that he feels like things happen for a reason and if he was not accepted in his society than he would have not been dancing today.
Nambinga, whose first dancing show was aimed at proving a point that he’s not a weird child to his peers, says that it was God’s way of showing him his direction.
Voting for Nambinga is free of charge and one can find the link on his Instagram account @kid_Ero.
