Afro-pop, soul, and gospel singer Lesego, known for his hit Viva Tau, has lived a life full of ups and downs. His soulful music captured the hearts of fans, but behind the scenes, he fought a battle that took him to his darkest moments. He said down with Bongani Mahlangu on Thivi Network to tell his story.
Lesego found himself in a “bottomless pit,” as he describes it, caught in a spiral of alcohol abuse and self-destruction. However, it was in this bleak period that a glimmer of hope appeared. A close friend encouraged him to sing, reminding him of the lyrics from Brenda Fassie’s 1991 hit song: Hay’ Ng’yakusaBa, My Friend U Dangerous. That moment rekindled the light within him, marking the beginning of his remarkable turnaround.
From hitting rock bottom to finding strength in his music, Lesego’s journey is a testament to resilience and the healing power of art. His story reminds us that even in our lowest moments, the spark for a comeback can come from the most unexpected places.
Today, Lesego is not just a voice but an inspiration, proving that redemption is possible when you choose to rise above your challenges.
