He is well known by people as a man of many talents. Bonginkosi “BRK “ Nkosi entered the media industry last year in April after he was appointed as a producer of a women’s show called, Elevation Show.
The management of the radio station saw that he was versatile and gave him a slot which attracted lots of people called the Night Explosion which airs from Monday to Sunday from 10:00 to 14.00.
Speaking to Mpumalanga News, Nkosi stated he wanted to leave a legacy in broadcasting as he had big dreams to achieve. ”It was not an easy journey to get into radio and I’m proud to say I’m doing what I love,“ he explained.
He further stated that when he was given the slot, he vowed to always give his listeners what they want, which is good music and keeping them informed.
He added the media industry was not as easy as people think. In order to survive, you need to be disciplined and know what you want in life. Asked by this reporter what makes his show unique, he said, “The content of my show is informative and the music I play caters for everyone. Every time when I’m behind the microphone, I always tell myself that the show is not about me, the people must own the show.”
Mpumalanga News learnt that since Nkosi was man of many talents, he played a a huge influence on young people in society as he was involved in youth activities which included music.
Because he fell in love with music at an early age, he had worked with various local groups such as New Image, a gospel group and Blank Page, a kwaito group, just to name but two. He represented South Africa in Israel in youth programmes in 2010.
“I want to take my music career to another level and also to grow in broadcasting as I believe that where I am now, is only a stepping stone. I want to leave a legacy and also help young people who have talent in music. As my future plans, I want to start a music academy through the BRK production company because in Mpumalanga we have talent, it is just that we are not getting enough resources and platforms to showcase it,” he said.
A few weeks ago, he tied the knot with his fiancé of five years, Sandisile Shabalala. Asked how he managed to balance his time, he said, “I have a good supportive wife. She loves and respects my job. When you do what you love, you always find a way to make things work,” he concluded.
