#IsithaTheEnemy Season Finale:
Pandemonium erupts at Nomsa’s wedding as tragedy strikes the Sokhulu family, leaving them in a desperate struggle for survival.
Amidst the chaos, Khaya Sokhulu stands as a beacon of selflessness, refusing aid until everyone else is tended to. But as Khaya’s life hangs precariously in the balance, a desperate Velaphi initiates a hostage drama, demanding a kidney for Khaya’s survival.
As the situation escalates, Rebs refuses to yield to Velaphi’s demands, and he shoots her in a heart-wrenching display of cruelty. Now, with no viable donor in sight, the Sokhulu family face their darkest hour as they grapple with the impending loss of their beloved Khaya.
Isitha The Enemy weeknights at 9pm.

 

In the telenovela Isitha: The Enemy, she portrays Martha, a housekeeper. She also appears in the reality show Giants of the City on Moja LOVE. Ontiretse Radipabe tells ZiMoja on navigating popularity while she living with a disability.

Bright, funny, and lively Ontiretse was raised in a variety of places, despite being born in Atteridgeville, Tshwane.

 

 

 

 
“I moved a lot with my mother. I initially lived in Atteridgeville then we moved to Mpumalanga, Balfour, after that we moved to Limpopo. I did grade eight to ten in Limpopo. In 2022, I moved to Johannesburg to pursue my dream of becoming an actor,” she said.

She has always wanted to be on TV: “I started my journey on YOTV and with persistence, I managed to get an acting role on a show called The Black Door on ETV, which later did a spin-off and became Isitha: The Enemy. ” We have finished season 1 and we are starting with season 2. I am loving every moment because being on screen is all I’ve wanted to do.”“I wouldn’t call them challenges, I would call them learning opportunities. People do not trust that I can do very things mainly because of my disability. Having to prove myself to people and opportunities became a bit of a challenge but it built me to be the person I am today.” Ontiretse said

“Some people would make fun of me or say mean things to me but I used that as a wagon to motivate myself and tell myself that I am also human and I am able, People need to educate themselves about disabilities and how to treat people with disabilities. I am, however, very patient, and I’ve grown to understand that in this world there are different people and that we are all not the same mentally.I am a very happy person and I use my positive energy to drive me and build me to become a better person,” she said

Ontiretse, who is presently in a relationship, took her time to find true love because she was searching for a genuine partner.She intends to expand in the TV industry this year.

“I am in a relationship,Men will always be men. You always have to build trust and it takes time and patience and hope they don’t disappoint you.”

” I want to learn more and expose myself to good opportunities behind the scenes. I am very proud to be who I am. I stand for boldness and always using what you have, less complaining,and always turning negative to positive.”

When Setlhabi Taunyane’s theatre troupe came to Toronto from South Africa during apartheid in 1978, all eight members elected to apply for asylum in Canada. Taunyane completed his immigration examination, and his application was successful. Taunyane spent the next decade and a half acting on the stage in Canada.

His performance in the 1994 production of “Survival!” at the Helen Gardiner Playhouse was reviewed in the Toronto Star, whose critic noted the “fine comedy and poignancy” of Taunyane’s performance.

 

 

 

By the mid-1990s, apartheid restrictions had lifted, and Taunyane had returned to South Africa. The reception he received, however, devastated him. His parents and extended family rejected him, and his situation deteriorated to the extent that he ended up living on the street.When Setlhabi Taunyane’s theatre troupe came to Toronto from South Africa during apartheid in 1978, all eight members elected to apply for asylum in Canada.

After 14 years, “Rhythm City” comes to an end on July 16, 2021. What a journey!

The soon-to-be-68-year-old Taunyane has certainly earned a peaceful retirement, but his fans undoubtedly hope to see him on the stage and screen for years to come—perhaps even one day back here in Toronto, his always welcoming home away from home.
