SIFISO NENE FOR ESWATINI

MBABANE - Firmly within his mega-successful national tour dubbed ‘Baby Mama Drama’, multi-award winning South African( SA) comedian Sifiso Nene will on October 7th take a breather from his tour to treat the people of Eswatini with his entertaing brand of humor.

Slated to perform alongside Eswatini’s most favourite comics Mdura, Bongiswa Masondo, Gogo Eswatini and S’lwane at Happy Valley Hotel , the decorated comic when reached for comment said; ‘The people of Eswatini are one of my most favourite audiences to perform for, not just for the language proximity, but because we have a greater connection. We have some awesome chemistry and besides that, what better ways to return than now, as we all recover from the scourge of COVID-19?’ The comedian also mentioned that he will return to the kingdom with Middelburg-born Vusi Mongwe, as previously seen in one of the craziest episodes of ‘Date My Family’ on Mzansi Magic.

Sifiso Nene holds the title as the first winner of the SABC 1 reality TV show, ‘So You Think You are Funny!’ which he won back  in 2009. Originally from Durban, he moved to Johannesburg in 2006 with the intention of being a scriptwriter for the comedy show ‘Pure Manatee Show’. He was informed that his writing was better suited for stand-up comedy, so he embarked on a career in stand-up. In 2008, he entered the David Kau reality competition show ‘So You Think You’re Funny!’ and after a 13-week process was voted  the winner, and bagged R100 000 for his efforts. His win on the show led to greater exposure for Sifiso and he landed a slot on ‘Opening Guys’, a reality show on Mzansi Magic hosted by Kagiso Lediga, in 2010. Following his win, Nene also hit the corporate market as an MC and presenter, and also performed at various comedy festivals across the country.

In 2012, he won the Audience Choice Award at the ‘2nd Annual South African Comics Choice Awards’, which is voted for by the public. Also in 2012, he joined the SABC1 youth talk show Mzansi Insider as a contributor and also starred in the David Kau film ‘Taxi Ride’ as Bhakabhaka, a rude, funny and stubborn taxi driver who always carries a sjambok and is the best friend of Dlamini played by Skhumba Hlophe. He reprised this role in the spin-off television series which aired on Mzansi Magic and Mzansi Wethu in 2013. This is the comic’s second  show in Eswatini since late 2019, where he performed alongside the likes of Simphiwe Shembe, Nonto R, Aubuti Lolo, Matewu Bozza and Ngcozi Yebo. Tickets to the show are available at Cuba Nora Mbabane, Happy Valley Hotel reception in Ezulwini and Ministry of Style SNAT Co-Ops House, Manzini.
