Naymaps Opens Up About His Struggles: “I’m Going Through a Lot”

Nkosinathi “Naymaps” Maphalala, the talented actor and musician, has shared a heartfelt message about his personal struggles, dispelling the notion that fame and success guarantee a problem-free life.

Best known for his role as Mkhululi “Zamcolo Wasendulo” in the popular Mzansi Magic show Umkhokha, Naymaps has released a new single, “Umoya Wasendulo,” a poignant plea for divine guidance.

He described his song as a prayer to God to guide him and accompany him on his journey to achievement.

“Umoya Wasendulo is the Holy Spirit, God Himself. In the show, I play Zamcolo, who is seen as a chosen leader of the country’s largest religious group. Despite his revered status, it’s important to recognise that the true higher power is Umoya Wasendulo, God Himself. This song is essentially a prayer,” he explained.

Naymaps recognised that, while some may believe he is living the dream, this is far from the truth.

“No one is without problems, even those who lead a glamorous life,” he stated.

“We start by thanking God for life. With so much happening, we ask for His guidance and to never leave us, especially when success comes. While some may pray for power, cars, or houses, consider the impact if we simply seek success.”

The 35-year-old actor emphasised that his on-screen role as a respected leader and problem solver does not represent his real-life experiences. “No one is without problems, even those who lead a glamorous life,” he told me. Despite his accomplishments, Naymaps faces various hardships and finds refuge in his faith.

“Umoya Wasendulo” is a heartfelt prayer for God’s guidance and presence in his life, especially in times of success. Naymaps hopes that his song will inspire others to seek divine guidance and appreciate the true power of faith.
