Scoop Makhathini interview
South African hip-hop's most popular podcast, The Sobering, interviewed Siyabonga Ngwekazi in one of its episodes. Scoop talked about his journey and purpose as one of South African hip-hop and urban culture's most respected representatives. According to him:
I call myself a representer, cause a presenter is really like a cardboard ship. It's fickle, but if you are representing, knowledge is key, and when I worked at [the TV show] Street Journal, it was really good for me. Because Maria [McCloy] and Dino, who ran Rage, were journalism students from Rhodes [University], and they instilled in me that you are so dope naturally, you just have to remember that journalism is what you doing. You not here to be cool; that is a bonus. But if you really wanna be dope, you must be smart.
The radio presenter also asserted his value of culture and his association with big brands across the world.
