Early Life

The well-known television personality, Skhumba Hlophe comes from humble beginnings.

Skhumba Hlophe, also known as Big Banger, grew up in the Tembisa neighbourhood of Johannesburg, South Africa.

He was born on December 31 and grew up with his grandmother, Leria Hlophe. The comedian from Johannesburg had always aspired to be a lawyer.

His fantasies of donning a black robe and a white wig came to an end far sooner than he anticipated.

It came after he claimed he wasn’t “quite the smartest kid on the street.” although this was not the only reason.

tudying at a university costs a lot of money, and his mother, who worked as a dry cleaner, couldn’t afford to pay for his university tuition.

As a result, Skhumba Hlophe had to work as a clerk to pursue his goals of attending a higher college. He toiled for thirteen years to gather enough money to see him through his university studies.

Career

Skhumba Hlophe is an actor, comedian, and radio host. After being cast as Bheki Zulu (lead part) in Thandeka’s Diary, he shot to fame in the film industry. In the South African broadcasting corporation sitcom, the character is Thandeka‘s overbearing mechanic father.

After his outstanding performance in the series Taxi Rides, a feature film, and its spin-off, he acquired even more fame as Dlamini. He was one of the Young Gunz of Nubreed Comedy who performed at the Soweto Comedy Festival in 2010.

In 2016, he appeared as a guest star in season three of the SABC1 sitcom Ses’Top La. In addition, he made a guest appearance on an episode of Zaziwa on June 30, the same year.

In 2010, he got the invitation to play at Monwabisi Grootboom’s Port Elizabeth comedy show, which is 99 per cent Xhosa. He received a standing ovation for making everyone laugh. It was the start of a successful comic career for him.

More possibilities flooded in, and he earned a gig as a contributor on SABC1’s Mzansi Insider. He got a part as an actor the same year when he appeared as a guest actor on Zaziwa.

In 2017, Skhumba Hlophe landed a new role as a host on SABC1’s Throwback Thursday. The show was what he enjoys doing precisely, which is humour. The show was a comedy discussion show that focused on social media’s top stories.

Personal Life

Dibakiso Moloi is Skhumba Hlophe‘s wife, and their children’s names are Nikiwe Hlophe, Ali-Bongwe Hlophe, and Sinakhokonke Hlophe.

They are, in his opinion, the reason he continues to put in the effort. He said that every day, I am grateful for my children and family. Of course, like everyone else, I have bad days. But I never forget how far I’ve come and what I’ve overcome, and I always remember that tomorrow is another day.

In most of his comedic performances, he discusses his connection with his wife. However, he occasionally tells the audience about their personal lives to make them laugh.
