Sereme hopes to come out victorious after easily cruising to the finals and to be crowned king of street dance.
"I am excited to make it to the finals. It was not easy, but it was not tough at the same time. I think I made it to this far because of the dedication and hard work.
"In preparing for the finals, I want to make sure I am very clean in my execution. "
Sereme says winning the competition will prove to those who doubted that dance can be a career. He wants to inspire young people to take dance seriously.
"Many people in the township do not regard dance as a professional work that you can earn a living through it.
"If I were to win this competition, it will be proof that dance can take you all over the world."
Sereme, a former member of Soulistic Fusion Trio, says he entered the competition because he was passionate about dance, having started it 14 years ago.
He started out doing all the styles from pantsula to hip-hop. In 2012, he began focusing on sibhujwa, something he regards as a lifestyle.
Sereme is also a club DJ and music composer. He says he composes the music that he uses when creating dance moves.
