@relebogilepod: "Homelessness doesn't happen overnight." Desmond Dube came from Kimberley to Johannesburg with Gibson Kente. When that project did not work out, he ended up in a one-bedroom flat with fifteen people, then slept on the streets for about a year and a half. He tells me how the late Menzi Ngubane spotted him playing snooker, and how he went straight from the streets to a 26-month tour of Europe. Catch the conversation, today at 12PM, on my YouTube channel. @desmond_dube @relebogilemabotja #RMPodcast #RelebogileMabotjaPod #DesmondDube #Johannesburg #StreetsToStage

I was homeless for a month, longest month of my life. Mind you ngibuya endlaleni emakhaya where my parents are no more, I had to make it work. Still thankful to the guy from Mozambique who took me in and gave me a place to cut hair

He's telling the truth I joined them a week before they jetted out to Europe with Street Sisters. I realized during that tour that this was a star studded cast because there guys were really killing those characters, and it was clear that they were headed for stardom. I felt honored to be in their mix 😊 There was Menzi Ngubane, Desmond Dube, Hamilton Dlamini, Peter Mashigo and a few others. The cream of the crop today.

Talk about being in the “right” place at the right time. He had to be in the streets to see that poster, if he had stayed in the flat to clean and cook, his breakthrough would not have met him🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

it's crazy that most people now know him for clientele adverts, he was once the comedian of the country

Wow destiny is something else. If he never left Kimberly, he would've never met Menzi in Joburg. What's yours will never pass you by.
