Quotes
When I came to Joburg, I couldn’t even say a few words in English because I only have a grade two. So, one of the things I was praying for was for God to teach me at least to say a few words in English because I was getting invitations from churches where people could not speak Zulu.
I would ask people to translate what my bosses were saying. I prayed to God and said: ‘God, there are people who know that I cannot read and speak English, but I want you to show them that all things are possible in your name’. I have never had people complain that I speak broken English – but maybe they are scared to say so because I am Inceku ka Nkulunkulu (God’s disciple). I believe God taught me how to speak English.
People used to say ‘uzoba isibotho wena’ (someone who is useless) or a criminal. You will be nothing in life, you don’t know your father. When I told people in the music industry I want to own a record company and get married they would say ‘not you.
