Seamy the pro gives back to communities

Growing up in poverty has motivated singer and performer, Marabetha Seaman Baloyi or ‘Seamy The Pro’ to give back to his community.

Baloyi, born and bred in Giyani, Homu 14 B has donated sanitary towels and food parcels to residents in the area. He has put smiles on the faces of the Zitha family, Hipambukile Primary School in Giyani, Ka Homu 14B and Hluvuka Disability Center, Makosha B9 with his donations. He told the Herald that growing up in a family of nine with seven siblings and his unemployed parents, was tough.

I ended up quitting school and started to perform at local taverns to put food on the table.” He said his life changed for the better when I joined Xihari Entertainment, founded by Khele Khumalo. “He has helped me with my music and to secure proper gigs that help me to support my family.
