The 'Nomvula' hitmaker says black people are using his past to destroy his life.
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – APRIL 06: Musician; Nathi Mankayi performs during the official launch of The Goodlife Network at the Alexandra clinic on April 06, 2016 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mankayi popularly known for the Nomvula hit, says music helped him overcome life’s obstacles.
However, Mankayi said he was never arrested and did not rob anyone. In fact, he was the one who got robbed, he said, without detailing the robbery he was a victim of. He said in isiXhosa: “It’s not true, I’m here, I didn’t rob anyone, I was the one who got robbed. You can’t hire someone and rob them because the person they’re talking about was hired by me to work for me, so why would I rob someone who I hired?Mankayi said he responded to the allegations because he was protecting a career he had worked for, and claimed that black people were using his past to destroy his current life.
“It is worrying when people try to kill what you’ve worked hard for because I’m here because of my hard work. Why would I be here and rob people? What I’ve learnt is that black people use your past to remove you from your current position. “Yes I was arrested, but it’s in the past and I don’t do those things anymore, so I’m not that person anymore. People on social media believe everything they read in the papers but they’re not true and it’s worrying.”
