Samthing Soweto Reveals That He Can’t Read Or Write.Akanamali hitmaker Samthing Soweto has revealed that he has a serious problem with reading and writing which led to him experiencing difficulties in school.

“People don’t know this about me, but I have a problem (with) reading and writing, so school was really tough for me. It was a nightmare but I went back nonetheless,” said Samthing in an interview with Mo Flava & Masechaba.

The musician further explained that after he came out of juvenile jail, it took him a while to convince the people around him to trust that he was changing. He went back to school and finished his matric.

“Finally, I matriculated, it was hard but I did it. I had to memorise a lot of the words and I’m constantly spelling things wrong. Even to this day, I have a real problem with that. If you read some of the things I write, you’ll probably find a lot of mistakes in there.”

Even though he admits he can’t write the star admitted once that he wrote hit songs from his former group The Soil and the hit Akanamali.

“I wrote Joy off The Soil’s first album. So this is my second hit. I don’t think I can be labelled a one-hit wonder. And even if I was, I would still be very happy. I keep telling my friends that if I had to die tomorrow, I would be really happy with my career. I have done exceptionally well for someone who is self-taught and self-trained and I am grateful for everything that has happened,” he told TshisaLIVE.
