Masandi – who has transitioned into worship / inspirational music. A journey that’s been long coming for him, after a fatal car accident, temporary paralysis, and in a head brace for over 3 months. Where he found himself pleading to God to save his life and that if this happened, we would transition to the gospel and become a steward of the gospel. 

Having turned 30, 3 years ago, he began his transition into worship and last year made the decision to fully commit to the pact that he made with God on the hospital bed. He has since seen God move on his behalf, and landed 3 major acting roles this year – one of which is a lead in the most-watched soapie in South Africa. 

Masandi is set to release his follow-up single ‘Noma Kunzima’ on March 25th 2022, followed by his EP, titled: ‘Illumination’ which according to Masandi means: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
