Local gospel singer and songwriter makes a name for himself:
Malcolm Bulala is a gospel singer from a family of five siblings raised by their father. He attended at Bombeleni Primary School and DJZ Mtebule High School in Nkowankowa Section B. Undecided on what to do with his life, he decided not pursue a tertiary education.
“My parents divorced when I was barely a year old but my father always made sure we were well cared for and not in need of anything. He saw to it that we attend church every Sunday,” he said.
He is currently a member of AFM Fountain Of Life under the leadership of Dr M.N Shipalana.
“I have always loved church life, even at a young age. We had to go to church rallies and compete in various activities,” he added.
He said he used to prefer to be in the crowd because of stage fright. That was until he had to do a solo at a Sunday school concert. The solo performance exposed his talent for singing. His Sunday school teacher, Anna Mhlongo and their worship team leader, Pastor Don Mushwana, took him under their wing.
“As a singer and songwriter I have been writing my own songs over the years and I am excited to start performing my own songs in church and at other events,” he concluded.

alongside award-winning singer, producer and songwriter, King Monada.
Limpopo-born and raised award-winning singers, producers and songwriters, King Monada and Henny C have teamed up for the first time. The duo released a single, Driver Ya Marato, to promote Henny C’s new album, Love and War.
Henny C, much like King Monada, began making music 16-years ago. He released his first commercial album in 2016. He started singing hymns in XiTsonga in church around his neighbourhood of Mphambho village, Malamulele in Limpopo.
His style was so unique that his family encouraged him to pursue music professionally. Henny C’s music breakthrough came four years ago with his debut album ‘Tsonga Prince’. This saw his first single, Lovola Money, receiving two nominations at the 2017 South African Upcoming Music Awards (SAUMA).
He was also nominated for the Limpopo Music Awards (LIMAS). Lovola Money went on to top radio charts in Limpopo and North West respectively. His second album, Tsonga Prince Revived, produced a successful single, Romeo and Juliet. It became a popular song at festivals and events.
The album also scooped five awards at the annual XiTsonga Music Awards. King Monada and Henny C’s music is popular in both villages and townships of Gauteng and Limpopo and countries like Mozambique.

Biodizzy’s new hit song:
Khuthatso Moyaba, affectionately known to his fans as, Biodizzy, has released his latest single, Thuto Ke Lesedi, recently. He enjoys a loyal following from Bolobedu and surrounding areas due to the catchy lyrics in his song, Khelobedu.

He has worked with various artists such as Makhadzi, Double Trouble, Prince Benza, Mr Brown, Percy Mukwevho to name few. In 2018 he won the Best Hip Hop Single at the Limpopo Music Awards. For now his fans are dancing to singles such as R, Boyka and Thuto Ke Lesedi which will be included in his upcoming album, Da Hustle.
