Thebe is joining a list of other confirmed South African artists namely, DJ Sithelo and Nomfundo Moh. The Swazi Polo is an event inspired by sophisticated daytime events infused with music, fashion, and food. The Swazi Polo is an event curated to meet the wishful thinking of mixing music and fashion in the Manzini community.
Born in Polokwane, Thebe had music pumping through his veins since he was born, as his father was also a musician, composer, and businessman. This led to him studying sound engineering and working as a club DJ, while also composing songs for friends.
