MBOMBELA – Singer and dancer Candy “Tsa Mandebele” Mokoena released her debut album Easy Come Easy Go last year and it has been nominated in the Best Traditional Album Category at the SAMA 23 Awards.
She shares her excitement.
How do you feel about the SAMA nomination?
I feel amazing. I feel like one of those who are blessed and looking forward to hear who will win the category. My fans should look out for what I’ll be wearing and to also understand that the category that I was nominated in is important.
Tell us about your latest album?
It’s called Easy Come Easy Go which took me a year to complete. I would also like to clarify that I am still with Kalawa Jazmee I do not think I will leave because I have learnt so much from them.
So, you’ve got into presenting as well?
I have a show called Artist Rundown on Channel 265 Gautv. I talk to artists by focusing on who they were before they became famous.
