Cape Town - If you live and work in and around Cape Town CBD you have surely heard and seen all the talent the City has to offer.
Whether it is someone playing the guitar in the gardens or a homeless person serenading street walkers/pedestrians with their magnificent talent, talent that very often goes unnoticed.
One talented homeless woman has left the internet speechless with her amazing talent. The video was uploaded onto TikTok and has gained more than 1.3 million likes, 47 000 comments and has been shared almost 80 000 times.
The video was posted by @yveettelondon0 who said: “What an amazing voice, they are homeless??? Why? She needs an agent, the right agent that will take care of her as well as promote her… somebody please.”
Seated on a bench, in the Cape Dutch Gardens in Cape Town, next to a guitar player the woman can be heard singing Rihanna’s Love on The Brain. Her angelic tone had social media gushing and asking for more. Some wondered why this raw talent had not been discovered yet.
