CAREER BEGINNINGS AND RADIO WORK ::::::
Skhumbuzo is famous for playing Meneer Manaka on Skeem Saam. A very
enthusiastic teacher who encourages and pushes his students to work harder. On the show he pushed Kwaito to work hard and eventually pass the grade. In real life however, Mbatha is very chilled person with a very good sense of humour.
Skhumbuzo Mbatha had a very long running career on Thobela FM while jiggling it with his acting career. However, in 2018 he called it halts with the radio station. He was going back to Capricorn FM in Limpopo. The station welcomed him with open arms, however, a “not so great” explanation was given for his departure. Saying that he wanted to focus on other ventures.
Skhumbuzo started his presenting at Capricorn FM when it was still called
Radio 1512, so this was just returning home. However, he had a pretty fun career at Thobela FM and was presenting the Afternoon drive show. Moreover, in 2015 while still at Thobela FM, Skhumbuzo won an award for Best Afternoon Drive Show Radio Presenter for the Ntshirologe show he was hosting on Thobela FM
