Nomfundo's hit song Soft Life, has become a household name and it has touching message. The song talks about opening doors for others so they can also have a better life.
According to Sunday World, Nondu said the song was inspired by where she hails from. “My song SoftLife was inspired by where I come from. As a black child who grew up in the rural areas of eNdwedwe, there are things we have no access to, so the soft life simply means we also want to experience the beautiful things that other people get to experience in life,” said Ngcobo.
Professor Nhlanhla Mkhize stated that Nomfundo has raised the UKZN flag high and wished her the best of luck. “Nomfundo Ngcobo has lifted the name of the institution high, we wish her well on her music career and we hope that she will always be associated with the institution in the future,” said Mkhize.
When she spoke later, Ngcobo said she was blown away that Soft Life was playing when she stepped on stage, “That was so special for me”. And on receiving double platinum she calls it a double blessing, “The song Phakade Lami went gold 2 months ago. I wasn’t expecting go double platinum already. I am so happy.” She said.
