Motha beamed when it was announced he was a finalist.
Apart from the live audience, his fans showered him with congratulatory messages on BGT's Facebook comments section.
One said: “Musa Motha my home boy. Congratulations to him. We as South Africans wish him the best of luck Mzansi is very proud.”
Another posted: "#MusaMotha South Africa is behind you, Vaal is behind you, Sebokeng residents are so proud of [you].”
“Super happy for Musa. I hope he wins the grand prize ... that will be a defining moment in the history of the show,” another said.
Motha told TimesLIVE Premium before Monday's semifinals, he was reeling from getting the group golden buzzer from Simon Cowell and his fellow judges, which propelled him there.
“I cannot find the right words to describe the feeling, not that I got the golden buzzer but because I made history. I'm the first one to get a group golden buzzer in the history of BGT. I was emotional and excited,” he said.
Motha relocated from his Sebokeng, Gauteng, home to the UK in February last year.
He always had an interest in dance and music and wanted to make a name for himself overseas.
Motha's leg was amputated after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, in 2006. His fighting spirit and love for movement propelled him to pursue his dream of becoming a dancer.
