Moghelingz Takes the Creative Lead
In a heartfelt Instagram post, DJ Zinhle revealed her favourite part of the video isn’t what appears on screen—it’s who crafted it. Banele Ndaba, better known as Moghelingz, directed the Woza music video, marking one of his first major projects.
“I think it was his first project, and he hit it; it was amazing,” Zinhle shared. “It was everything it needed to be, and I’m glad we got direction from someone like Moghelingz who knows exactly what they’re doing, visually on a normal day. That’s dope.”
Moghelingz has built a strong following on social media for his bold and boundary-pushing content. From dance and comedy to makeup transformations and LGBTQ+ advocacy, his work is celebrated for representation and creativity in digital spaces. He has even co-hosted the TikTok Awards for Sub-Saharan Africa, further solidifying his influence in the creative scene.
