Known as Shemza in the music fraternity, Mzwandile Myende from KwaMakhutha outside Durban in KwaZulu Natal says he is destined for a brighter future.

CONTENT CREATION

Shemza started his content creation in 2020 which has seen him pulling more than 47 000 followers on YouTube. Speaking to ZiMoja, Shemza says his journey started when he shared his content with those close to him on his Whatsapp statuses. "My friends encouraged me to start my own channel and to be active on social media. At first, I was doing this for fun but now I have decided to take this seriously and make money out of my talent. This is one of the reasons that made me leave my comfort zone in Durban and come to Johannesburg where things are happening," said Shemza who is now staying in Protea Glen in Soweto.

VERSATILE

 Shemza is not only a content creator, but he also owns Yolo and Zart clothing brands. "It is not easy to start from the bottom as it is hard to find financial backing. With the support from the people from my hood I have managed to stick with my brands, and they are well known in Durban and soon it will be big here in Johannesburg. I want my clothing brand to be in all the big retail stores in South Africa by the end of the year," said Shemza.

MUSIC

Shemza recently released a single titled Valentine which he is hoping that a music video will be out before the 14th of February. Shemza said that he wants to focus on music, clothing lines and content creation. Shemza has also shared a stage with big names in comedy in KZN like Msizi Shembe, Mondli Mzizi, Gab, and Felix Hlophe to mention the few.
