From being a child presenter on a South African kids’ show to making things hot with degrees – literal degrees, well-known media personality Sidwell Sipho Ngwenya aka Psyfo has shown that hard work indeed beats talent.
The former YoTV presenter has been making big strides in the entertainment industry and has now secured himself the role of Mulitchoice’s Content Operations Senior Manager.
This is a big win for Mzansi, those who followed his journey brimmed with pride when entertainment commentator Phil Mphela shared a short clip of the former presenter on his Twitter page.
In the clip, Psyfo can be heard addressing a group of people about the importance of speaking more English instead of vernacular for the sake of international inclusion on the popular show – Big Brother.
