Madlela S’khobokhobo

Showbiz Correspondent
RISING rhumba musician Madlela Skhobokhobo’s popularity continues to grow as he is set to light up the stage at Umqombothi Sports Bar in Nkulumane on Sunday.

The Gwanda-bred artiste who is riding high on the popularity of his runaway hit Ngamnanka uSaMamoe is on a Sizwe Sizweni tour of the southern part of the country to promote his music. The Umqombothi show comes hot on the heels of a successful performance in Victoria Falls last week where he drew a packed house at Ko Mpofu La Bar. Hoping to continue with the same momentum on Sunday, Madlela Skhobokhobo will share the stage with Khaya Arts Dance Group with DJs Sweeto, Quinn, Sheriff, Stones and Phibz on the decks.

Said Umqombothi resident DJ Sweeto: “Madlela is a very popular musician and he’s the man of the moment especially in the high density areas.

“His song Ngamnanka is always being requested by our patrons so we decided to host him live.”

He said the show would be on Sunday because Madlela was booked all throughout the weekend.

“Madlela is a busy man and has a lot of bookings. We’d initially wanted him to perform on Friday or Saturday but he was fully booked on both days,” said DJ Sweeto.
