Lasizwe becomes SA’s first ‘under 30 male’ to reach 1M YouTube subscribers

One of South Africa’s most well-known YouTubers has officially cemented his name in the cyber history books as he finds a million reasons to be thankful. 

Known for his hilarious comedy skits after bursting onto the scene with his viral “Ek sal jou Doom!” video, 26-year-old content creator Lasizwe Dambuza has grown immensely since his humble beginnings as a young creative. 

Not only has he reached stardom by later launching his own reality show, Fake It, Till you make It, but has also managed to build himself a strong following on the video streaming platform YouTube. This is all thanks to his widely popular show Awkward Dates. 

While difficult times may have crossed his path on several occasions and ultimately led to him stepping away from the content creation space following challenges with his mental health, his return to the platform has since been met with great success. 

This comes after he recently became South Africa’s first male under the age of 30 to have reached one million subscribers on YouTube. 

Taking to Instagram, Lasizwe burst into excitement. 

“We just made history!” he exclaimed.
