• South African Motswako rapper Tuks Senganga shares how SABC1's educational soapie Skeem Saam has changed his life

Musician Tumelo Matthews Kepadisa, known as Tuks Senganga, who is responsible for the soundtrack of Skeem Saam, reveals how the show has changed his life.

The legendary South African rapper also shares that the educational soapie has kept his music career going throughout the years.

The popular musician admits in an interview with the Daily Sun that the soapie has sustained his career. The 44-year-old artist, who sings the opening song, Bona Fela, on the SABC1 soapie, reveals that he's grateful that his song remains the theme song for the show.

"I still get performances off the back of that song," says the star.

Kepadisa also shares that he would love to grow musically as part of the show, and would love for the song, maybe, to change. The artist admits that only the producers and the channel can change the song, and he's always pitching new music to the show.

The musician also says he's made a few cameo appearances on the educational soapie throughout the years.

Kepadisa was recently interviewed on King David's show on Radio 2000, where he discussed his music career.
