In 2018 St. Benedict's recalled him in need of his talent and passion, this time he was offered a lead role as Scar in a rendition of the famous play and film The Lion King; King Of Africa.

At JOMBA! The piece Imvunge YeziNkonkoni came in at 1st place for the JOMBA! Fringe and that opened an opportunity to be mentored by one of South Africa's leading choreographers, Gregory Maqoma.
