Mzwanele Jackson Ntoyakhe said he loves making people's dreams come true.

CONTROVERSIAL maskandi singer Mzwanele Jackson "Khethabahle" Ntoyakhe loves helping people living with disabilities reach their dreams.

The 43-year-old from Dutywa in the Eastern Cape told the Daily Sun that he is passionate about his work.

Mzanele said Sifikile "Sokalentsangu" Sihokolo (38) and Sithembele "Impondo Elisha" Yobo (28) are now under his label, Khetha Music Production.

He said he enjoys helping others and that this is one of his many callings.

"Under my guidance, we are doing the music development. That's how I selected talented artists who are living with disabilities," he said.

"I'm also the chairman of the Eastern Cape Maskandi artists' organisation where we do a lot for artist's delopment, especially for artists who don't have resources," Khethabahle said.

The musician said the inclusion of the two artists made him happy.

"I was lucky to get funding from the Department of Arts and Culture. But it has always been my goal that our artists are funded," he said.

In 2016, Eastern Cape MEC for Arts and Culture Pemmy Majodina reportedly instructed the veteran maskandi artist to "delete" a controversial song Ngekhe Ngivote, that made serious allegations of corruption against her.

Khethabahle said he'd like to see more people living with disabilities showcasing their talents.

“Our latest project was released in August and it means a lot to me. Even if I can say I'm leaving the music forever, I'll die happy,"

He said one of the artists is blind and the other can’t walk.
