Sipho Mbonambi, who goes by Mfana Ka Gogo, has made it.

“Washo ugogo wami ntwana qinisela wena uzo phumelela [my grandmother said hold on my boy you will succeed],” he posted.

“We did it,” says the grateful teen.

In his previous interview with Drum, he said he was very confident that he nailed his matric exams.

“I know that I passed because I did put in the efforts as hard as I can and paused a lot of things for it.”

He described the year 2022 as school for him. He says this is because he had learnt to be a responsible young man.

“Last year was a learning curve for me. I can say it was school because I have learnt a lot about how to be responsible and take care of myself because I was still in high school, on the other hand, it was my passion – music. So I learnt the balance between the two.”
