Nkosinathi “Naymaps” Maphalala, the 35-year-old actor and musician known for his role as Mkhululi in the popular Mzansi Magic show “The Curse,” wants fans to understand that his life isn’t as glamorous as it may seem. Despite portraying a character who solves people’s problems, Nay Maps faces his own challenges and seeks divine guidance. In this candid interview, he shares his thoughts on success, prayer, and the true higher power.
Nay Maps Opens Up About Life Challenges
In the limelight, Nay Maps embodies Mkhululi, the man of God, Zamcolo Wasendulo. However, off-screen, he grapples with real-life issues. Nay Maps emphasizes that no one—regardless of their status—escapes life’s difficulties. His openness about personal struggles serves as a reminder that even TV stars face their own battles.
“Umoya Wasendulo”: A Song of Prayer and Guidance
Recently, Nay Maps released his single “Umoya Wasendulo.” The title translates to “The Spirit of God Himself.” In the show, Zamcolo’s revered status as a chosen leader within the country’s largest religious group contrasts with the deeper truth: the ultimate higher power is God Himself. Nay Maps describes the song as a heartfelt plea for divine guidance, asking God to remain with him through both triumphs and trials.
Seeking Success Beyond Material Desires
While some pray for material wealth—power, cars, or houses—Nay Maps encourages a different perspective. He suggests that seeking success itself, rather than specific possessions, can have a profound impact. Gratitude for life and unwavering faith in divine guidance form the foundation of his journey, reminding us that everyone faces challenges, regardless of their public image.
