Convicted Kwaito star Brickz seen singing in prison choir,
Sipho “Brickz” Ndlovu, the once-popular kwaito artist currently serving a 15-year sentence for the r*pe of his 16-year-old niece in 2013, has resurfaced in the public eye after a video of him performing with a prison gospel choir went viral on TikTok.
Ndlovu, who was convicted and sentenced in 2017, is now in his eighth year behind bars at Leeuwkop Correctional Centre in Sunninghill. The footage shows him singing alongside fellow inmates a scene that has stirred widespread debate online.
Many social media users commended the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) for its rehabilitation efforts, noting that Brickz has been part of the prison choir since 2019. Some praised the apparent transformation and suggested such programs are essential to inmate reform.
However, not all responses were positive. Critics questioned the authenticity of Ndlovu’s rehabilitation, with some speculating that his participation in the choir could be a strategic move to improve his chances of parole.
Despite consistently maintaining his innocence, Ndlovu remains incarcerated and will only be eligible for parole consideration after serving at least half of his sentence.
