The singer said he was amazed by the level of talent he showed on Durban Gen.
“But if you’re an artist, anything can happen. I guess this talent has always been there but I didn’t know about it,” said Mnqobi, whose real name is Mnqobi Ndunakazi.
He said the acting opportunity has got him thinking about his career as an artist.
“This is big for me. Durban Gen is huge. It’s one of Mzansi’s respected shows. Being featured on it is an honour. Rubbing shoulders with people I’ve been watching on TV is big. It’s one of my highlights as an artist.
“So, I’m no longer afraid to try new things. I’m now thinking of building my acting career into something bigger. Who knows, maybe I will be given an opportunity on other big shows in future.”
The Ntombazane hitmaker was also featured in the movie titled Umanga.
