Reaching for the dream

Stepping up his game in the Idols competition - Empangeni’s Phaksy Mngomezulu

The fortunes of talented former Empangeni High School pupil Phaksy Mngomezulu (19) is soaring. The Zululand youngster has made it to the final 15 of the popular SA Idols competition. Having a passion for singing since he was a little boy, this was the second time Mngomezulu has tried out for Idols. According to his parents, the judges said he was too young when he entered the 2008 auditions. This year Mngomezulu has reaped the benefits of his hard work, practice and determination. With the competition now getting much tougher, he is confident of remaining competitive after surviving the previous cut-off stages.
