MBABANE - It is by letting our values, desires and authentic shape the person we
see in the mirror that we can properly create the life that we want.
Felenkhosini Oversea Ndzinisa, famously known as ‘Dr Cembe Lescalaba’, is
now a comedian. He had been known for his ability to heal and soothe others, but
he has switched gears and made people laugh instead. His unique blend of
knowledge and humour is sure to leave the audience entertained and enlightened.
The traditional healer began his comedy journey early this year after sharing
his skits on Facebook. Drawing inspiration from the late Smallz The Comedian,
real name, Lungelo Gina, whom he described as his late friend, Ndzinisa, shared
that he used to spend time with Smallz, and people around them liked their
content.

Some even felt like the duo could do video comedy together. Unfortunately, the
legendary comedian passed away. Smallz The Comedian passed away last November in
a tragic car accident. Born on the outskirts of Manzini town, the traditional
healer said he will focus on clean jokes that will be able to accommodate all
generations. “My videos will be very educational, informative, and
entertaining as well. We will not do comedy just to pass time, but at least be
able to change someone’s life,” he said. The traditional healer will be
working with his uncle, Bhutana Ndzinisa and Slwein Comedian. The trio will do
skits, memes, and stand-up comedy. The trio will tell jokes that are a mix of
wordplay and cultural references. The jokes might also poke fun at the mystical
and mysterious nature of traditional healing.
After a long week of working, a normal, healthy person will need to laugh.
Comedy is good for everyone because you get to laugh, and laughing relieves
physical tension and stress.
Worth noting is that the popular inyanga is also a Maskandi music artist.
Ndzinisa has joined the lists of Eswatini’s most hilarious comedians who would
give a person just a taste of what a good laugh needs to be like, such as
Gedlembane, Dr. Shakes, Gogo Eswatini and Sl’wane, to mention a few.
