MacG believes Kabza de Small can and should fill up FNB Stadium – Is he right?

When it comes to speaking one’s mind, very few do it like popular podcaster and DJ Macgyver Mukwevho, who is more affectionately known as MacG. The controversial figure has put it on the table that he believes Kabza de Small has what it takes to fill up the FNB Stadium.

Although done unconventionally, Mac G and his team have worked tirelessly to grow their podcast channel to unprecedented levels of success. With the first episode of ‘Podcast and Chill’ airing back in 2018, the platform has since become one of mzansi’s go-to podcasts, as their unique approach to the platform has captivated the attention of many, both within South African borders and beyond them.

In one of their latest offerings, MacG and his right-hand man Sol Phenduka have put an interesting proposition on the table, which they believe mzansi should hear them out about. According to the infamous duo, mzansi’s uncertified ‘king of amapiano’, Kabza de Small has worked hard enough to go for the ambitious task of filling up the FNB Stadium.

Filling up the FNB Stadium has become one of every South African artist’s lifelong dream. As the largest on the African continent, with a capacity of approximately 96,000 people, this is no easy feat, as only a select few notable names have the bragging rights to accomplishing this almost-impossible task, including Cassper Nyovest and most recently, Chris Brown.

Arguing passionately, MacG believes that Kabza’s catalogue and longevity in the industry have enough clout to pull off this difficult task. He goes to the extent of visualising what that show would look like, as he plans how the maestro would take fans on his musical journey, starting off with his earlier hits, when he collaborated with the likes of Shasha and Samthing Soweto, ending the night off with some of his recent bangers such as Imithandazo.

Internet users appear to be in agreement with MacG and Sol and reveal that they believe that this can be achieved in a short space of time. According to these users, the one-half of the Scorpion Kings duo has enough pull to pull this off, however has an even greater chance with his close friend DJ Maphorisa.
