actor for South Africa’s most loved soapie Rhythm city playing the role of

Going
back to where it all started at the age of 16 its's where Dumi revealed his
talents. He took part in soccer and was awarded a sports bursary from the
University of Pretoria where he went to join the university’s sports academy.
As good as he was in soccer, his talent was noticed by one of the country’s
biggest soccer teams Supersport United where they signed him on three-year
contract. He was then involved in a car accident which made his soccer dreams
fade.
At a
later stage he decided to pursue his other talents. In 2012 He participated in
the eighth season of Idols SA where he made to the Top 18. But that never broke
his spirit , he believed in himself and still hustled his way up in the music
industry. Today, he is known as one of the country’s well known-musicians for
his hit song “Shona Phansi”.
Dumi
has been with Rhythm City cast for the past five years. He was playing the role
of a street kid who later made something for himself. He was seen starting up
his own record label. His role in soapie kind of related to what he was passionate of in real which is music. On the soapie he was helping young stars,upcoming musicians release their albums, making the best out of their voices.
This
multi-talented star has recently got married to his beautiful wife Simphiwe
