Idols SA Judge Somizi speaks on overcoming hardships

Somizi and Vusi NovaSomizi, who has been open about his tale of coming out stronger after losing it all, recently shared with Metro FM listeners how he was at his lowest but never gave up.
The star recounted how he once auditioned for the South African Music Awards (Samas) ceremony, but smudged his audition brief in the taxi on the way to the venue. I refused to give up. I did it with my own hands, the formation, and they came out. To date, we have had the best opening and closing ceremony. That, for me, says that anything is possible, nothing can stop you, if you have a vision. Nothing.

Somizi And Vusi

Somizi reflected on the impact the event had on him in a post last year, saying creative organiser Lebo M gave him an opportunity that transformed his life.
I had given up on ever choreographing anything when he called me and said, ‘Somizi I would like you to be the head choreographer for the Fifa World Cup opening and closing ceremony, and I know you can do it’.

Somizi

Somizi has since gone on to achieve great success, particularly in the world of business and TV. He is now one of the most successful celebs in Mzansi, scoring a cooking talk show, shoe deals and launching a cookbook all within a year

I couldn’t even get a chance to acknowledge that achievement as I was grieving. And 2weeks later I went back to double check that email that reminded me of what I’ve achieved in the last decade and I was just astonished.”

Ayanda further points out her wins in the music industry. Read below:My record company/ label was the best selling Independent company in RSA.
In 2014 -2015 Ncwane Communications broke the record, with a ground-braking sales record, we were the best selling, NOT just in Gospel genre, NOT in South Africa, but in AFRICA across all genres.
My significant role as CEO of Ncwane Communications and brand manager to the great Sfiso Ncwane earned me 4 awards at @thesamas_ . ( 😅 yes, I’m a 4 times SAMA awards winner) That immediately earned me the esteemed recognition as SOUTH AFRICA’s Top Female Record Label Executive.
In 2020 these outstanding achievements propelled me to the appointment as the PRESIDENT of Africa Gospel Awards.
