The backlash to the film was brutal. But Nakhane didn’t let people’s opinions hold him back: "Resilience is like a cork in water; you try and put it down but it’s always going to rise to the top."
Rather than crumble, Nakhane took that negativity and used it to propel his career forward. “There’s no point in being afraid of things you have no control over,” he says. So, he rode out the storm and eventually saw the ban overturned. A victory he always knew would come.
Now with a second album and novel under his belt, he hasn’t stopped. He’s relentless in the pursuit of his art and doesn’t let fear shift his focus.
“You have to believe in yourself before anyone else will believe in you.”
