“Ubani uMzekezeke”: Carlo Radebe Confirms Rumours About Mzekezeke’s True Identity
Veteran actor Carlo Radebe has seemingly confirmed a long-held suspicion about the true identity of masked musician Mzekezeke. Radebe was a guest on the popular show Podcast and Chill with MacG, where he spoke openly about his life and career.
This podcast appearance followed a recent plea Radebe made on Facebook, asking for additional donations after having received some earlier this year.

Carlo Radebe Confirms Rumours About Mzekezeke’s True Identity
During the latest episode, Radebe discussed his struggles, both in his career and financially. In the middle of a lengthy and somewhat awkward monologue, Radebe hinted at what many believe has been an open secret for years.
The moment of revelation came when Radebe, perhaps unintentionally, said:
“DJ Sbu, thank you very much. I believe he also has a Podcast, am I correct? Thank you, Mzekezeke. I worked with you on [the set of] Backstage and I never forget that. Thank you very much.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if Radebe intended to confirm the widely held belief that DJ Sbu is Mzekezeke. Still, his slip of the tongue caught the attention of co-host Phenduka and many listeners. In the comments section, several viewers expressed that they have always suspected DJ Sbu to be the man behind the mask. Here are some of their reactions:
@MoMadibi:
It’s been more than 2 decades now.
@OBK_BENEDICT:
The cat is out of the bag now. Growing up I thought uMzekezeke was a guy from ekasi called Zakhele, hence the nickname mzakesman. Now it’s official 😂
@BhenguSmiso:
