According to Channel24, Nkanyiso’s journey started in 2019 when he decided to change his old unhealthy lifestyle and started to improve his eating and physical activity habits. He also launched his anti-obesity campaign under the hashtag #walkitoffwithnkanyiso, inspiring people by sharing his personal journey on social media.

A few years ago, the singer said his weight had got to a stage where it was limiting him from the things he wanted to do, according to Times Live.

“I’ve always been overweight. It’s been who I am for most of my life but it didn’t make my life as difficult as it is now. When I was younger, I could handle my weight better and I was able to do most things, but now as I get older it is becoming more and more dangerous for me. I have a family, wife and children, and I don’t want to leave them before I would have if I had just shed some weight. I don’t want to die,” The report quoted Nkanyiso as saying at the time.

Tweeps reacted to the star’s weight loss, with many applauding him for making it thus far.
