21 shows booked for this festive. No hit song. No new music. No tv show. Just the love.
It’s amazing the power of a brand built 17 years ago still resonates with South Africans to this day, NAMANJE.”

While speaking to Penuel on his podcast, the DJ refuted the claims peddled by tabloids that he is Mzekezeke.
“No, I’m not Mzekezekee. I haven’t spoken to him in quite some time now. The guy is doing well. He is doing taxis and every time we speak about the music he hasn’t really shown much of an interest.”
