The never-say-die artist, father and entrepreneur, was born on the 24th February 1943 in Soweto and attended the Athlone School for the Blind in Cape Town. It was while at Athlone that he fell in love with the guitar as the school encouraged students to learn to play different instruments.

This led to the decision to form the All Rounders when they left school. Due to the lack of work for blind people, they brought on other blind and sighted musicians including Koloi Lebona, John Mothuping, Micky Lebona, Archie Kgwadi and Simon Falatsi.
