DREAMS do come true - definitely for Dumani Madondo from Mabovini, Msinga who regards Greytown as his home.
Dumani is a rapper and after matriculating his dream was to be a musician in Johannesburg, where in 2007 he went, but things did not work out as planned.
Life was not easy, but Dumanigot a job as a petrol attendant and then a security guard, but now the rapper has got his big break as a television presenter on Ekuhuleni TV in Openview, powered by eTV.
The show - Zidelekhaya - is on every Saturday from 5.30pm to 6.30pm and is about Maskandi music, including a series of interviews.
As a rapper Dumani is known by the name "Soldier101". A single he recently did with Jaiva Zimnike is now playing on radio stations throughout the country.
In an interview with the Greytown Gazette Dumani said: “God is great and I love him. Thank you to Greytown Gazette for pushing a home talent and to be the first to publish this great news for the people of Greytown.
