In the days before snap-backs and letter-man
jackets were big in this hemisphere, when Kwaito was still King, Siyabonga
Ngwekazi was rocking his own style. We should have known he would rise to the
levels he has when we were tempted to watch that basketball show on a Saturday
afternoon, knowing full well that soccer was our fix. We should have guessed
that we would be hooked on this man’s style and charisma when he appeared on
our screens again and again, first on Street Journal (2005), Real Goboza
(2008), Metro FM Music Awards (2007) and when he graced the screen in 2009 with
the now infamous Nonhtle Thema on Vuzu, we were sold. He branched out into the
radio business, hosting a show with MTV’s Sizwe Dlomo on YFM – I remember a
time when I didn't like hip- hop that was a time before “Seez and Scoop”.
He now ventures into the world of fashion
with his brand P.A.P, he calls the men’s clothing line “Pieces by PAP”, PAP (
Parental Advisory Productions) being a joint venture; a production company
started by himself and his “Forever young”
co-stars Thomas Gumede and Lungile Radu.
