IT IS AMAZING what life can do. It can bring down the mightiest of egos through its trials and tribulations. That is what it did to popular Umhlobo Wenene FM jock Mthobeli "KCI" August.
In his heyday, it was almost impossible to get an interview with the flamboyant DJ. But these days he is as humble as a lamb.
The ever-daring radio DJ, who is known for his witty sense of humour and outrageous dress sense, tells Sowetan that the past few years of unemployment have taught him a few lessons about life.
August, who hosts Masigoduke, a very popular afternoon drive show, was first suspended and then fired from the station in November 2007 after a fall-out with then station manager Nada Wotshela about his choice of music.
