KHUZANI “King Khuba” Mpungose made history when he became the first maskandi artist to fill up Moses Mabhida Stadium in March.
He is now about to achieve another milestone in his career.
Khuzani’s book, Khuzani Isibuko Sika Maskandi about his life will be released this week.
The book has been written by veteran journalist Eric Ngobe.
Ngobe told SunBuzz that the book will reveal Khuzani’s personal struggles in life.
“Many people know about Khuzani since he became a successful artist, but they don’t know his painful life story,” said Ngobe.
“The book begins with growing up without parents and being abused by his stepmother.
“It describes how he managed to flee to Pretoria to look for work.”
Ngobe said Khuzani wanted to be a professional, but he didn’t have the opportunity to study.
“This book is very painful, but it will inspire many people to push harder until they get what they want in life.
“Khuzani is a hard worker and he fought for what he has today,” he said.
Ngobe also wrote a book about the late Mtshengiseni “Indidane” Gcwensa in 2016.
Khuzani said the book is a platform for him to heal his wounds.
“I will not reveal much now, but people will find out many things about me when they read the book.
“I’m happy that I will have a book out about my life while I’m still alive,” he said.
