She has quickly become one of the most recognizable faces in singing competitions and auditions as a judge. She has no doubt wowed Mzansi for years as an Idols SA judge in recent years. Unathi Nkayi is a well-known South African singer, actress, and radio host.

 

 

 

 
She is best known for her role as a co-host on Popstars, where she co-starred with Rowan Cloete’s multi-award-winning legend.

Aside from that, she is a content producer and media mogul. She has since established herself as a major player in the entertainment industry. She has recently become best known for her appearance on Idol SA, which she has done for eight seasons.

We can all agree that her journey to stardom began when she auditioned for the SABC1 musical show Castle Loud. She was promoted to show co-producer due to her unrivaled talent.

Unathi began a new chapter in her career when she transitioned to broadcasting. She was a member of YFM from 2004 to 2020. Following her performance, she had appearances on Pop Stars, Metro FM, and Kaya FM.

Following her on-air personality, Unathi made headlines when she starred in the Disney edutainment series Doc McStuffins. Rita The Cheetah was her role. However, it appears that she has finally decided to settle for a position on a panel.

She has received numerous honors throughout her illustrious career, including the MTN Media Awards and the title of Most Promising Woman in Media in 2005. She also won the Metro FM Music Awards for Best Dressed Artist and Song of the Year. She was named Glamour Woman of the Year in 2014.

Mzansi, on the other hand, has recently been connecting the dots regarding Unathi’s personal life. She has two children from her previous marriage to radio personality Thomas Msengana, better known as Bad Boy T. Back in 2019, the couple married. After Msengana’s cheating allegations, their marriage ended a few years later.

The age of Unathi has piqued the interest of Mzansi. She is a gym addict, and her bagging body proves it, but she is older than she appears.

On November 6, 1978, in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, the multi-award-winning personality was born. The 43-year-old began her career after acquiring degrees in media from the University of Utrecht (Netherlands) and Rhodes University (South Africa).
