Career in music

He has become one of South Africa’s most prominent Xitsonga artists since the release of his first album, Tiba Ben, in 2011. Since then, he has gone on to work with artists such as Mr Jambatani, Prince Ranghani, Joe Shirimani, and Vana Va Ndoda under the Limpopo Poison umbrella.

He was nominated at the Xitsonga Music Awards for three awards in September 2013, namely Best Xitsonga Male Artist, Best Xitsonga Popular Song of the Year, and Best Xitsonga Album of the Year. However, his attitude towards these awards has changed, as covered later in this article.

Career in politics

In 2016, he became the first Tsonga musician to be an official of the Johannesburg Chamber as PR Councillor for the city of Johannesburg under the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). However, he quit the position in June 2019, stating the reason to be that fellow musician Ringo Madlingozi was preferred over him to go to Parliament as one of the EFF’s 44 Members of Parliament after the elections in May.

What happened to Benny Mayengani?

His music career has not come without challenges. For example, he had a campaign when promoting his performance at the Giyani Stadium, which used the hashtag #FillUpGiyaniStadium in 2018. Cassper Nyovest felt that this infringed on his own brand, which also used the same format for stadium performances and sent a cease-and-desist letter.

In January, he publicly withdrew from the SABC’s Munghana Lonene Xitsonga Music Awards, saying that it hurt his brand. He and his manager, King Chauke, said it did this by only awarding certain artists all the time and was therefore not credible.

This came after there was an incident in 2015 when he did not show up to perform at the awards ceremony, and his fans were demanding for him while throwing cans when Joe Shirimani was on stage. At the time, the two artists were not on good terms.
