Meanwhile, on Monday, Kodwa also made the announcement of having brought Zola 7 into the mix, he wrote,
“Bonginkosi Dlamini is South Africa’s icon and one of our most talented stars. I met him yesterday in Polokwane – he welcomed an invite to work with us as one of the Creative Sector Ambassadors. I look forward to a great working relationship with Zola 7.”
