Liberty Bwanali

Jana Greyling

Attention all fans of South-African rap: a former Matie is fast becoming well-known in the Hip Hop genre.

Originally hailing from Zimbabwe, Liberty Bwanali has chosen Stellenbosch as his base after travelling through South Africa and trying out different fields of work.

Before making his debut, Liberty did an IT-course and worked at the Arizona Spur in Eikestad Mall.

Although he was accepted as a student to study at Stellenbosch University and started attending classes in January 2010, he decided to cancel his studies in order to pursue his dream of making music and becoming a star.

Artists that inspire Liberty range from Dolly Parton to Bob Marley and ALT-J.

He started writing down his travelling experiences at the age of 17 and later started combining these with beats. He still writes all of his lyrics himself and says, “even when I talk it’s almost like a song”.
