Zingah Reflects On A Decade Of Success and Resilience In The SA Hip Hop Culture. Zingah reflects on a journey punctuated by a myriad of experiences, each chapter adding a unique flavour to his life’s narrative.
A decade after gracing his second Hype cover, he finds himself at the epicentre of a new chapter, employed at YFM—a place where his journey began 15 years ago. It’s as if destiny has orchestrated a poetic return, weaving his past and present into a harmonious tapestry of success and transformation.
From his early days of gracing magazine covers and brand collaborations to navigating the harsh realities of high-profile hijackings and kidnappings, Zingah’s path has been anything but ordinary. Each twist and turn, though challenging, has only strengthened his resolve and passion for the big business he now thrives in. His journey is a testament to resilience, showcasing how perseverance can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
“So many full circles! From magazine covers, to new employment, self employment, brand collaborations, adverts, chess kwa Mai Mai, getting high jacked/kidnapped & making it back home 😅, and getting right back to doing Big Binnis! My second Hype cover 10 years later as the new talent at Y where I was discovered 15 years before. God is so poetic and by His grace I’m still in the cut the qwel it on the most highly I’ve ever,” he wrote.
Despite the accolades and achievements, including high-profile adverts and an unwavering presence in the SA Hip Hop culture and media landscape, there remains a whimsical thread of nostalgia. Zingah’s ongoing association with Hennessy Back To The City where he is still affectionately called Sipho Mkhize, highlights a delightful echo of his past. “And somehow til this day Hennessy, Back To The City AND google still call me Sipho Mkhize 😭 Life is amazing!” He added.
