Dr. Tumi whose real name is Tumisang Makwenya has released a new single titled ‘‘That Name”; a song that reminds listeners that the one inside is greater than the one in the world. In the song, Dr. Tumi sings about the power in the name of Jesus Christ and that all power belongs to Jesus, for the name of Jesus is far above every other name. He mentions that the name of Jesus causes great changes and does great things.
Dr. Tumi is a household name in the South African music industry, known for his soulful gospel melodies and a voice that can move mountains. Despite his overwhelming success, the singer’s life has not been without struggle.
Born on July 10, 1981, the 40-year-old singer is a man of many talents, including being a producer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and vocalist. Dr. Tumi discovered his singing talent while attending Sunday School, where he taught himself to play the keyboard.
His father, who was a preacher, bought him his first keyboard when he was nine years old. Dr. Tumi’s parents raised him in a godly way, and he studied medicine at the Medical University of Southern Africa for six years. However, after completing his studies and starting his own medical practice, he soon realized that being a doctor does not necessarily make one rich. He struggled with debt for years before deciding to pursue his true purpose in music.
Since bursting onto the music scene in 2003, Dr. Tumi has released dozens of songs, including hits like No Other God, Wafika, All of Me, nothing without you, and Because of Jesus. He is a multi-platinum-selling artist, with his album Love and Grace certified double platinum.
In 2017, Dr. Tumi hosted a charity concert for his 37th birthday, giving away 400 free tickets to fans who did something good for someone less fortunate. He is married to Kgaogelo Makweya, who plays a crucial role in his music career as his manager.
Dr. Tumi is a private person when it comes to his family, but he and his wife are blessed with three beautiful children, Onalerona, Bokamoso, and Khumoetlile. Despite his success, the singer says he has even bigger dreams and aspirations for the future.
