From construction to comedy, Meshantan Naidoo has opened up about his journey in South African entertainment.

South African comedian and radio personality Meshantan Naidoo has built a loyal following by turning ordinary moments into relatable comedy gold.

From viral social media videos to breakfast radio and live stand-up performances, Naidoo’s journey into entertainment was anything but conventional.

Before stepping into the spotlight, Naidoo worked in construction, specialising in civil and structural projects in hazardous environments across Durban and northern parts of South Africa.

However, a spontaneous voice note sent during a busy Black Friday shopping trip in Centurion unexpectedly changed the course of his career.
