GROWING UP AS A KID

Ashifa Shabba grew up in Makwarela, a township in Venda, Limpopo Province. He was raised by his grandmother Mirrium Muleya after his parents divorced when he was only 5 years old. Ashifashabba was very naughty and made fun of every serious situation that's why he's able to deal with tough situations through comedy. His family had a shebeen which operated from home so he grew up in a loud environment, that’s where the love for radio came from.

His relationship with radio began when he started making sense of what that box powered with batteries (radio set) is all about. Hearing people talk and not seeing them fascinated him very much and he literally opened his mother’s radio set to see who was inside. Ashifashabba got to see the electronics inside a radio set which excited him. He could actually see how the radio mechanism searches for stations as it goes from 88 to 108 MHz on FM.
