QnA: Tyson Ngubeni
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

You’ve probably seen him on those Chicken Licken ads or somewhere on Instagram making us laugh about amagwinya. Whichever is the case Tyson Ngubeni is one of the few people who has been winning lockdown. Using jokes to give us the 6 packs we so desperately craved, Ngubeni has managed to carve himself a lane in South African pop culture. And if his increasingly frequent appearances on our timelines and tv adverts are anything to go by, that lane may soon turn into a highway.

Describe yourself in two words.
Silly & conflicted

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Seeing Chelsea live, then a Lebo Mathosa song blares through the stadium speakers

What is your greatest fear?
Not realising potential. Complacency scares me to death

I tend to overthink things

What is the trait you most dislike in others?
A lack of empathy & compassion

Which living person do you most admire?
My parents

What is your current state of mind?

The Forrest Gump Suite just came on the playlist so I’m both nostalgic and that emotion where your head sways and you hum way outside your vocal range

If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?
A sea-facing mountain, honestly, yaz’ – That breeze, that majestic ocean & sun. Imagine

It’s a toss-up between my glasses & the latest book I bought
