His management said since the comedian returned his fan base has increased on social media.They mentioned that Gina has been in the country for a couple of months and already has shows lined up for the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a couple of months since the comedian returned to the country after spending almost half a year working in South Africa collaborating with his colleagues in the arts industry, especially in comedy,\u201d said his management team.<\/p>\n

They said his relocation to South Africa helped him acquire more experience and exposure in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe worked with Ngobe Media; Smallz had a chance to work on a program sponsored by DStv for artists. Other deals in South Africa included collaborating with artists like Siyanda Maphumulo, Simphiwe Shembe, Nonto R, Aknak Pruu together with a lot of other artists creating comedy skits where he raised the Swazi flag,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

He headlined a lot of successful shows in Mpumalanga and Kwa-Zulu Natal. According to his management team, the comedian remains popular in the country with over 600 000 followers on Facebook and over 62 000 on YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince coming back in the country we have started collaborations with Gedlembane and making video skits everyday. This is also in line with building confidence with followers.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that despite setbacks Smallz the comedian brand is still well-positioned in the industry as he is still receiving corporate gigs from local companies and in South Africa,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

They said they were aware that the comedian\u2019s fans were hungry for a nationwide show and would be announcing tour dates soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a team, a different approach to hosting local shows is being considered. We are planning on filming every show we make to come up with a documentary for our shows. We are yet to announce shows which will be headlined by Smallz and Gedlembane. All these details will be announced in due course,\u201d smallz\u2019s team said.<\/p>\n

They added that their aim was not to focus on negativity but to work on building a strong brand for their craft.<\/p>\n
