One of Mzantsi\u2019s most favourite social media sensations,
\nYamkela Ndabezinhle Nuba, popularly known as King Nuba has obtained his second
\nqualification from Walter Sisulu University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the Umzimkhulu-born artist graduated from the
\ninstitution\u2019s Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) programme at the
\nButterworth Campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, June 8, he officially acquired his second belt; a
\nPost Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am extremely happy because this is my first physical
\ngraduation, an opportunity which Covid-19 denied me with my previous
\nqualification. From here on, I intend to find a decent position as a
\nprofessional teacher, and then continue to entertain people on the side,\u201d said
\nNuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finishing high school, Nuba enrolled at WSU, where he
\njoined the WSU Drama Society, which he says grew his love and passion for the
\narts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of his enrollment in ABET and his involvement in
\nthe arts society, King Nuba gained self-confidence and overcame stage fright
\nthrough presentations and practical work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since he shot onto the social media scene with his satirical
\ncontent in 2019, Nuba has gained a large followership, which has culminated in
\na supporting role in one of SA\u2019s biggest Telenovelas, Imbewu: The Seed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the growth of his online platforms, he was
\nhead-hunted for the mini role, and has since been pursuing his acting, comedy,
\nand music careers countrywide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImbewu\u2019s producers called and asked me to come to the set.
\nI was both surprised and excited because it increased my popularity and opened
\nnew opportunities for me. Many people began to take me seriously and began to
\nfollow me,\u201d said King Nuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Nuba released a song titled WATHI UMHH, which has
\namassed over 260K views on YouTube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, the song and accompanying music video give
\noff his usual comedic take on life. From the costumes, to the carelessly
\nlayered out-of-tune vocals, the song lives up to Nuba\u2019s oddly humorous social
\nmedia brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you listen closely to the lyrics which loosely
\ntranslate to \u201cJesus never lost hope\u201d, Nuba offers a strange kind of comfort to
\nhis fans, reminding them to stay hopeful during trying times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople should follow their passions and work hard to get
\nwhat they want and get to where they want to go, but education should be
\nprioritised because it is the key and where you usually get a lot of
\nsupport,\u201d said King Nuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
