While Bongani remains one of the mainstays of Joburg’s biggest breakfast show, the Rude Awakening, it’s probably his voice that has really catapulted him into the spotlight. He has performed along side well-known musicians like Hugh Masekela and Kirk Franklin, starred in Disney’s The Lion King, and is often asked to sing at weddings, christenings and private functions. His long-awaited self-titled album was launched this week and features an eclectic mix of musical styles that showcase his vocal versatility.
