Speaking about his vision, he told the news and entertainment publication TshisaLive that the plan is to start raising funds and the various shows he will perform at.
“I am about to do a project that is close to my heart, which is a music college. We have started having meetings about that. We are going to start fundraising internationally in the places where I mostly perform. We are going to try to raise funds so that I can build the college,” he said.
Furthermore, local fans are in for a treat as we will soon have the opportunity to see him live in mzansi. This comes as he announced that he will soon be having a show in Cape Town in February and March 2025.
