Veteran journo makes most of lockdown
Veteran South African journalist and assistant editor of the Pretoria News, Kennedy Mudzuli, is set to take the local music scene by storm with his first single.
Titled “Ko Davin”, the single is due for release on digital music stores on July 24.
The rising Afro-house DJ is affectionately called DJ Edit SA by his growing fan base. The father of two, who lives in Tshwane, said he used the lockdown period to his advantage by putting together his debut masterpiece.
Having to manage a demanding schedule, Mudzuli said his mornings are dedicated to creating and perfecting his music, while his afternoons and evenings are reserved to edit the newsy Pretoria News, which – because of lockdown – he now does from home.
“I’ve always been known as the guy with the best playlist and latest music. However, I only started sharpening my music selecting and mixing skills in 2017. I made mixtapes and uploaded them online,” he said.
Next up was residency on the SMU FM (Sefako Makgatho University) breakfast show, and today Mudzuli’s mixes are played on several radio stations in the country. In three short years he has built a loyal following with his weekly mixtape series, “The Shift”, reaching more than 40 000 people online.
