It is simply an amazing story of a boy in a world plagued with apartheid, someone who didn't fit anywhere. Neither in black community, nor in white and not in Indian either.
It is an amazing life that he has lived. Amazing not as in his life was amazing, but the things that happened in his life were amazing. From selling pirated CDs to dating girls who couldn't speak a single word from any of his languages. If it weren't his own biography it will utterly unbelievable to think that someone who started life like that and continued like that could make it so big at the international stage.
Not so much an inspiring story, as the true ones!
