About Dr Tumi
Dr Tumi, born Tumisang Makweya on July 10, 1981, in Seshego, Limpopo, South Africa, is a South African gospel recording artist and minister of song who also works as a qualified medical doctor. He graduated from the Medical University of Southern Africa (Medunsa) and balances his career in medicine with his music ministry.
His musical journey began in church and Sunday school. Before launching his solo career, he served as the lead singer of the gospel group Intense. This early experience laid the foundation for his own recordings, beginning with the album Heart of a King in 2013. He followed with Love and Grace in 2014 and Speak a Word in 2016. His catalog includes songs such as "Nothing Without You," "Jesus You're My Life," "The Fourth Man," and "Strong God."
In 2017, Dr Tumi became the first gospel artist to perform and fill the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg. That same year, his album Heart of a King won the Best R&B Gospel Award at the SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards. In 2024, he released the live EP Wakuabudiwa (Live).
Dr Tumi is married to Kgaogelo Makweya.
