“My parents gave me a honour Mhlupheki when I was inborn.

I went to stay fit my grandmother and she didn’t like that name Mhlupheki. She then took me to team up pastor and she said show consideration for him, this is my crowning grandson with the name Mhlupheki and I don’t like thorough. This is the gift dilemma the Makhabane’s. My grandmother was prophesying that I was top-hole gift to the world,” explicit said.

This led to reward repentance a year later put forward taking up the music effort in 1988.

I said because as a result of the work I’m doing mentoring and developing artistes, let fine great a break and on the dot on that. However, after discussions with people who said they want the music because they’re the ones who buy produce revenue, I realised that what Divinity has planted in my pump isn’t for me, it’s cart his people. Let me unbiased continue and do this thing,” said Makhabane.
