Although young maskandi star Skweletu Chiliza didn’t scoop the number one spot on the Ukhozi FM Song of the Year list, he had a big reason to celebrate.
Skweletu, who came in second on the Ukhozi FM Ingoma Ehlukanisa Unyaka which was won by Big Nuz, chose to celebrate his position two in style.
He celebrated with a big festival at Bombo Stadium in his village at Umzimkhulu, KZN, on Monday, 9 January, where people were entertained for free.
The celebratory festival featured artists such as maskandi star Khuzani “Indlamlenze” Mpungose, gospel star Jumbo, Menzi, Mjolisi and Khaza.
The 24-year-old musician told SunBuzz that because people loved him and voted for him, he decided to do something good for them.
