Sthembiso “SK” Khoza
Sthembiso “SK” Khoza is a presenter, actor, musician, voice over artist, and all round crowd pleaser! SK is a “Jack of all trades” and a master of most, contrary to the popular saying. Born 1st July 1986 to Zulu parents in KZN, South Africa.
After making a lasting impression at auditions for a Channel O show, the channel decided to make him the newest member of the Channel O family and host of Mzanzi Ridez, a car customisation and hip hop magazine show similar to MTV’s Pimp My Ride. It was either the way the camera loved him or his bubbly personality that led SK to be used a field presenter for VuzuTV’s V-Entertainment. He isn’t just blessed with good looks and people skills but beautiful vocal cords too. After several years of singing with Pre-eminence, a band he started with a friend, SK has decided to strive towards recording a debut solo album in the near future.
His love for being in front of the MIC goes beyond sharing melodies; he’s also a radio host at TransAfrica radio, a voice-over artist and MC. After globetrotting profiling International football stars for Goal Diggerz, SK returned to add acting to his list of talents, joining SA telenovela Inkaba on Mzansi Magic. . It’s safe to say that there are very few things he cannot put his mind to achieving. Known by industry peers for his energy, SK is always ready, willing and able to entertain.
