What Happened To James Bhemgee From SA Got Talent?
James Bhemgee from SA got talent has passed away. Some social media users said he suddenly had a heart attack and died.
Bhemgee was a singer whose music will always remain in people’s hearts. The former street sweeper was randomly discovered by Angelique Fuhr on the streets when he was singing while sweeping the streets one day.
That was the beginning of his singing training, and when he was 45 years old, he caught public attention. The woman called her daughter, a concert pianist, and invited Bhemgee to her home to sing.
Fuhr paid for his initial singing lessons because she was confident in his abilities, but after three months, his teacher gave up because she thought he needed a coach more suited to his abilities. Finally, Fuhr persuaded the advertising firm, Young and Rubicam, to support his continued study.
She directed him to the Nico Malan theater (now the Cape Town Artscape Theatre Centre), where he studied voice with American baritone Wayne Long. Bhemgee left the theater after 2.5 years of training to pursue a performance diploma at the University of Cape Town. However, he left the country before finishing his university studies.
In 1994, he appeared on Breakfast News (now BBC Breakfast) in the United Kingdom. His talent was recognized in many places, and he had the opportunity to study in Germany, where he spent four years.
In 2010, he participated in SA Got Talent and even won the title that made him more famous. He was even rewarded with R250 000 prize money.
