The story of Somizi Mhlongo is one of breaking down walls and
triumphantly demolishing the hurdles and curveballs thrown his way.
Born of acting royalty, his father Ndaba 'Mshefane' Mhlongo was an
incomparable comedy genius and his mother Mary Twala is a revered
performer who is still active in the industry to this day. Even at
his poorest, Somizi was rich. His life filled with magical stardust
moments. One too many times he emerged from the dark valley of
sorrows only more energised and revitalised to tackle this thing
called life again. In this biography he opens up about his
childhood of deprivation and how his destiny was in the arts. He
became a performer at a young age and expanded his horizons as he
traveled the country with his parents. The original child star,
Somizi was on TV while still at school. He couldn't escape the
clutches of the stage and cameras. What awaited him was a charmed
life as a Sarafina! star touring the world until tragedy struck
when his father passed away and he returned home. Somizi speaks
frankly about discovering his sexuality and coming to terms with
it. His chutzpah and never-say-die attitude saw him look bravely in
the eye of chauvinism and prejudice to change attitudes. Immerse
yourself in a story of survival and the ABCs of beating the odds.
For each time he was down and out, Somizi came back stronger than
before. Today he nibbles on the uppercrust of South African
entertainment as a million rand empire. He is a radio personality,
Idols SA judge, a much sought-after MC and a dependable face as an
ambassador of several campaigns and products. But it was not always
that way, until he pushed down the walls and they fell like
dominoes.
