00:24success and the 33-year-old says he kept believing in this moment.
00:28To be honest, over the months, I was, you know, you could ask my friends, I always wanted
00:33this, you know, I think, you know, I was in a dark spot, I think it was over for me, but,
00:38you know, thank God I had my mum who keep pushing me and also some friends and family,
