SAs Short and Sweet reality TV star Yamkelani Jama, popularly known as MaYoghurt, says he has never once questioned his height or cried to God about it. Instead, he has always loved himself deeply, shaping his mind to believe that he can do everything a taller person can do.
He also praises Short and Sweet, a reality show about people of short stature, for changing his life. MaYoghurt is set to perform at the Re Ka Kgona Arts Festival in North West tomorrow, a first-of-its-kind event dedicated to celebrating and empowering artists living with disabilities. Sowetan caught up with him this week.
MaYoghurt: No. I herded cattle like everyone else. I never limited myself. There was nothing I believed I couldnt do because of my height. I believe in myself first. Secondly, I love myself. I never wished I was taller. I dont question Gods strength. If I were tall, I dont know if I would be where I am today, living the best time of my life.
