"It’s been a great 10 years of volunteering as a contributor on one of the biggest radio stations in the world, @ukhozi_fm. I have no one to thank but @ladydkhoza for believing in me since 2016, we started with a feature called Ijadu Le Afrika up to Ikhosomba lezi ngcitha buchopho. Now that I’m going back to books as I’m working on my master's degree in musical theatre, I thought I should let everyone know that I'm bowing out," he said.

Daily Sun reports that Khoza will also be hosting the Battle of Isandlwana memorial concert and walk at Constitutional Hill on 25 January 2026.

The top actor will reportedly be paying tribute to his late great-grandfather, Ntshingwayo Khoza, who was a commander of the Zulu warriors for the Battle of Isandlwana.
