Mnqobi Yazo makes 360 turn from acting to music

It has been four years since the talented actor Mnqobi Yazo, real name Mnqobi Msimango was first introduced to South African television screens when he first made his appearance in the popular telenovela The River in 2020.

Following the success of his television debut, he has since entertained Mzansi in many more soapies, some of which included etv’s Durban Gen as well as his portrayal of the character Dlozi in Smoke & Mirrors.

Despite his journey in acting turning out to be a success, Mnqobi, who is also a talented Afro-pop singer has now revealed he intends to put his drama career on hold so he can focus more on making music.

The actor was recently interviewed by the news publication Daily Sun where he opened up more about his decision to make music his main priority.

“I’m a passionate musician more than an actor. So, I’ve decided to give my music more attention,” he explained.

With his latest album Ubhoko having been released, he said that he will be having a tour for his fans.

“The tour has already kicked off. It was in Cape Town in July where tickets were sold out, and I will do it at the Tropical Nites Theatre in Port Edward, KZN on 4-5 October.”

He added that he will continue to visit multiple cities and engage with his fans, and this would be his first tour since starting a music career.
