Q&A w/ Khathu Litshani: Being multiskilled is crucial in the entertainment industryMost people know 30-year old Khathu Litshani as the DJ and comedian who became an overnight sensation through the hilarious videos he uploaded onto social media. However, there's so much more to him... DJ and comedian, Khathu Litshani. Having worked in the entertainment industry for over seven years Litshani has been called producer, brand influencer, MC, event organiser and businessman and is now working on Kooking with Khathu, in collaboration with Viva Nation TV. Litshani realised his talent as a comedian in 2015 when he started short comedy videos, which received a lot of positive feedback from the public and garnered him a huge following on all of his social media pages, as well as earned him a spot as one of the biggest vloggers in the country. His consistency saw him landing a deal with Vodacom and MTN, as the first comedian/DJ to have a voice-only caller tune in South Africa. He is also the first comedian to have a content-driven partnership with Transit TV (TTV) - a channel that reaches 13 million people monthly. Following his success, e.tv Sunrise labelled him as South Africa’s most liked social media comedian. Litshani was one of the 24 newcomers across the country who formed part of the Savanna Newcomer Comedy showcase which was a huge accomplishment for him. Having done stand-up comedy for only two years now, Litshani was thrilled to be afforded the opportunity to showcase his authentic talent at this prestigious event. We caught up with him and chatted to him about his career, campaigns he worked on that stood out and what advice he can give to the new kids on the block.
I’m also shooting a cooking show, Kooking with Khathu that I’m doing with online TV station Viva Nation, so there’s a lot I'm working on. It's exciting times.
Thank you to everyone who supports my brand and my work. Never stop believing in me and God bless!
