Moving on with one of our favourite feature called “Rising Stars”, we went all the way to a beautiful country in Africa called Zambia. We are still proud to see an African child rising to the top! Our Rising Star no: 207 is Matthews Mpoya (23), a content creator and comedian who is famous with mixing education and comedy video clips to teach words in different African languages. He completed his secondary in 2017 and ready to further his studies in 2024!
“Thanks a lot for noticing my talent! I have done many types of content but the one that still stand out is “Words in different African Languages”, I started making simple comedy by expressing funny words in my mother tongue (Kaonde) and lot of people found it funny, I have never stopped since then. My aim is to educate and entertain lot of people through my videos, human mind hates boredom, and we need a bit of laughter for stress relief”, he said.
Mac Matthews zm, as popularly known on social media platforms, believes that content creators can make a living out of social media. “Look at people like “Khaby Lame”, he is now far and working with lots of big companies, its also easy to make money on social media if you can monetize your content”, he added.
Like many industries, finance is another issue, it is not easy to make a content and it becomes easy when you have finance which can be used to make a source of income.
“Upcoming content creators must be determined and consistent, it is not easy road, nevermind where I am now, the road is still long. Never loose hope and nothing beats hope. God has blessed us with skills and talents to shine like stars, its us to discover our gifts and sharpen them like a sword. Education can get you a nice job but your gifts and talents can make you dine with Kings and Queens”, concluded Mat.
His last message to his fans is to keep smiling and spread the word of love across African continent and the globe. We are proud of him and cannot wait to see his work reaching out to massive audience.
His work can be found Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok (Mac Matthew Zm)
