The South African education system has been hit hard during the pandemic with the future of many young people hanging in the balance. 

The recently launched Study Buddy Fund has committed itself to provide access to further education and training, by not only supporting students financially, but also providing a refreshing perspective on education.

He has carved out a post-modern eclectic genre in the South African music landscape which some have emulated, but never matched.

As an icon, he continually stretches himself as an artist in an era where some artists fold under the pressure of the music industry. After 20 years in the industry, he is still “TheRealMXO”.

There is a saying that says “Leina Lebe ke Seromo” (You are What Your Name Attracts).
