SA’s InDuna wins Prince’s Trust award
On 22 May, the winners of the 2024 Prince’s Trust Awards, including South Africa-born New Zealand-based musician InDuna, attended a reception at Buckingham Palace in London, UK, with global founding patron King Charles III.

Now in its 20th year, the initiative spotlights and honours the accomplishments of young individuals, volunteers and community supporters who have benefited from the trust’s assistance, both in the UK and globally.
The scheme encompasses eight categories within the UK, and three global categories. InDuna received the Global Young Achiever Award at a ceremony on 21 May from Nigeria’s DJ Cuppy, who described him as a “future musical sensation.”
“Thank you to @kingstrustnz for the love and support you have given me and continue to give me,” InDuna, a self-taught singer and producer whose work draws from pop, hip hop and dance, posted on Facebook following his big day. “To the @kingstrustinternational for the support and love you have shown me through this whole process, [and] @princestrust for having me this week. It has been amazing”
Born Tyson Nemukula, InDuna moved to New Zealand at the age of 14 after living in South African orphanages for six years. He joined the enterprise programme, run by Prince’s Trust Aotearoa New Zealand (now King’s Trust Aotearoa New Zealand), to seek mentorship.
“I joined the programme to tap into the wealth of mentoring, networking opportunities and support essential for scaling my business,” he said. “I wholeheartedly embraced the willingness to fail, recognising it as a crucial pathway to rapid growth and learning.”
InDuna is known for ‘Dreams’, a song he wrote for the Oscar-qualified documentary film Ink and Gold: An Artist’s Journey to Olympic Glory. He is also behind well-received records like ‘All My Love’ and ‘Diva’.
