Hard times hit Kwaito legend, Professor – Close source spills the beans
Hard times hit Kwaito legend, Professor – Close source spills the beans. After he parted ways with Thokozani “T’zozo” Zulu, following their duo called Tzozo En Professor, his music career blossomed.
Professor won awards, released massive hits, and became the talk of the town.
The kwaito star, whose real name is Mkhonzeni Langa from Umlazi, south of Durban, is hardly seen at entertainment events.
The Jezebel hitmaker is one of the artists who was not lucky enough to get the bookings during the political parties’ election campaigns.
They said what stresses Professor the most is that even in KZN, his home province, it looks like he has been forgotten.“Professor makes good music, and even on stage, he makes people stand on their feet. It’s just that he is unlucky. There’s no doubt that people love his music. He’s a great artist. So, that’s why he is frustrated when the bookings don’t come through,” said the source.
Another source said the star has no issue with anyone in the entertainment industry.
“He is a very humble guy and has not quarrelled with anyone as far as we know. Even when he was still making hits, he did not let the fame get the better of him. It’s frustrating that he doesn’t get bookings. KZN is known as very supportive, but it’s unfortunate that now it seems the province has forgotten about him,” the source said.
Professor released a song Watsamaya, featuring Nhlanhla Mafu of Mafikizolo on 24 May 2024.
The song is about the influence of financial status in a relationship.
Professor said it’s painful that he’s not celebrated at home.

“I’m based in Joburg for work, but the fact that I’m from Durban remains. I feel like I’m not celebrated there, but I hope things will change. I have a new song out, and it addresses the issue of money in relationships.
“The song received a warm welcome from the music fans, which encouraged me to work on the album,” said Professor.
