But beyond the mic and the music, his most important role is being a dad. We chatted to him about his journey in the entertainment industry, his love for music, the lessons of fatherhood, and the moments that matter most.<\/h4>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve built an amazing career as a radio presenter and DJ. What first drew you to the industry?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I&#8217;ve always had a passion for connecting with people, and radio gave me the perfect platform to do that. My journey started in 2014 when I co-founded RadioDUT, a campus station at DUT, where I discovered my purpose and love for broadcasting. Joining East Coast Radio and hosting the drive-time show has been a dream come true. I get to share stories, uplift and entertain a community I truly care about every single day.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us a bit about your music career &#8211; what do you love about performing?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Music has always been part of who I am &#8211; it moves people and connects us. I started creating music at RadioDUT, building a studio for young talent. In 2018, I released my first single Uthandolwakho and have since dropped two EPs. I&#8217;m now working on my debut album, Illuminated Journey, which reflects my experiences with love, faith and growth. Performing lets me share that energy and create moments people will never forget.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-38339\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-680x1024.jpg 680w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-768x1156.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-1020x1536.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-1360x2048.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-279x420.jpg 279w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-696x1048.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-1068x1608.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-1-scaled.jpg 1701w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/>What does being a father mean to you?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Being a father is one of the greatest blessings in my life. As a dad to two incredible children, Smanga (my angel child) and Zanda (who is turning eight this year), fatherhood has shaped me in ways I never imagined. It has given me a deeper sense of purpose and responsibility and an overwhelming gratitude for the privilege of being able to honour Smanga and raise Zanda.<\/p>\n<p>Parenting is both a gift and a challenge. It pushes me to be the best version of myself so I can lead by example, instilling values of love, resilience and kindness. Yes, the pressure is real, but every second is worth it. There&#8217;s nothing more fulfilling than witnessing your child grow, develop their own personality and navigate life with the foundation I&#8217;ve helped lay.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-38341\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-281x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-281x400.jpg 281w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-721x1024.jpg 721w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-768x1092.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-1081x1536.jpg 1081w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-296x420.jpg 296w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-696x989.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1-1068x1518.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-3.1.jpg 1225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/>How has fatherhood changed your perspective on life?<\/strong><br \/>\nFatherhood has completely reshaped the way I see life and approach my career. It&#8217;s made me realise that everything is about perspective.<br \/>\nHow you choose to see things either adds value to your life or takes away from it. More than anything, I&#8217;ve come to understand that our true purpose as human beings is to serve.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, fatherhood has taught me to be intentional about everything I do. I strive to create a life that fulfils me emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and financially so that I can show up as the best version of myself, not just for my career but, most importantly, for my family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of your favourite things to do with your son?<\/strong><br \/>\nAh man, we do so much together! Swimming, watching cartoons &#8211; yes, I&#8217;m a proud Paw Patrol fan! But beyond just having fun, I love engaging in activities that allow my son to learn while playing. One of our favourites is building with Lego. It&#8217;s amazing to see how it sparks his creativity and teaches him problem-solving skills in such a natural way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-38340\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Cover_Sbu-2-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><strong>What&#8217;s your ideal way to spend Father&#8217;s Day?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy ideal Father&#8217;s Day is all about family, spending quality time with my own father and making his day special, just as he&#8217;s done for me throughout my life.
