WATCH: Video of Somerset Park dancer
You won’t be able to take your eyes off this Somerset Park resident getting down!
IF you drive up or down Umhlanga Rocks Drive, chances are you have spotted Somerset Park’s Phumelela Mathenjwa.
To keep fit, the 26-year-old paces the length and breadth of the busy road – not walking, not driving, not running, but dancing. He sometimes brings traffic to standstill as we found out on Wednesday when he showed us that he most certainly has the ‘moves like Jagger’!
For over 10 years, the entertainer (also known as Charlie Manner) has showcased his talents along Umhlanga Rocks Drive.
According to Mathenjwa, he does it for no reason other than exercise. “I just can’t go to the gym. I tried it for a month but then I couldn’t do it any more. We live in one of the most beautiful cities, so why not enjoy it? And why not dance in the street? I have so much fun I don’t even realise how hard I am working,” he said.
Mathenjwa said his form of exercise helps him with his breathing for singing, keeps him on point with his dancing choreography and keeps him fit.
When asked what music he listens to when he grooves down Umhlanga Rocks Drive, Mathenjwa said he prefers Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Madonna and Timberland.
