Maskandi star amazes many as he considers to set record straight
It is the intention of MASKANDI artist Mthandeni “Mthandeni SK” Manqele to correct the record. This comes after there was a lot of uncertainty about his choice to skip Durban events. Mthandeni declared in April that he will not be participating in any Durban events after Zimdollar Biyela, the host of Ukhozi FM, ejected him from the platform during the Mother of All Maskandi Festival.
Mthandeni SK has won amazing rewards in his records. He has also been placed for nominations and has adequately won some. HE has gone far in his music career and has equally made big name in the music industry. Starting from teen stage, he has always loved maskandi music and is also inspired but their genres. Believing his his dream got him far in life as he followed the footsteps of other great and amazing maskandi famous artists.
On the other hand, the famous Gucci hit maker will play at two events in Durban on Saturday, November 2. Both the annual DJ Bongs Social Link at Shongweni Club, west of Durban, and the third annual Gcwalisa Spring Picnic at Hollywood Bets King’s Park in Durban will include his performance. The news spoke with Mthandeni who hails from eMdletsheni, northern KZN, about the events he would be attending and those he will not be performing at.
I still stand by my statement that I will no longer participate in Durban’s Maskandi celebrations since I have been abused on several occasions. “I will only participate in the Gcwalisa Spring Picnic because I am respected and valued by its organizers, particularly Mthokozisi Zuma. “I feel at home when I perform at that picnic,” he remarked.
Aside from Maskandi events, Mthandeni stated that he is available to perform at other Durban festivities. On Saturday which is November 2, his song Paris which will be starring Lwah Ndlunkulu, will be nominated for Motsepe Foundation Record of the Year at the Samas.
