In a story that echoes the trials and triumphs of many young people facing adversity, actor Phenius Bullets, at just 22 years old, has experienced a life-altering transformation thanks to a pivotal role on the hit television series “DiepCity.” As he candidly shares his journey, it becomes clear that his portrayal of the character Osama, a fearless gangster, not only showcased his talent but also served as a lifeline, pulling him away from the dangerous path of crime and despair.Phenius, who hails from Mpumalanga, South Africa, endured a tumultuous upbringing marked by loss, hardship, and abandonment. Losing his mother, the family’s sole breadwinner, at the tender age of 15 plunged Phenius and his siblings into destitution, forcing him to navigate the harsh realities of life on the streets of Soweto.

 

“I grew up without my parents,” Phenius reveals, his voice tinged with the weight of his past. “When my mother passed away in 2017, I had to drop out of school to take care of my younger siblings. With no home to call our own, I found myself sleeping rough, abandoned by those I sought solace from.”But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged when Phenius received an unexpected call from the producers of “DiepCity.” Offered the role of Osama, a character with whom he shared haunting similarities, Phenius seized the opportunity with both hands, recognizing it as a chance to rewrite the script of his own life.

“Playing Osama was a turning point for me,” Phenius reflects. “Here was a character who, like me, had been abandoned by society, left to fend for himself on the unforgiving streets. Through him, I found a voice, a purpose, and a means to channel my pain into something productive.”

As Phenius immersed himself in the role, he discovered a newfound sense of belonging and validation, as well as an outlet for his creative talents. The character of Osama became more than just a role; he became a lifeline, guiding Phenius away from the brink of despair and towards a brighter future.

“Now that the production is over, I’m focusing on my music,” Phenius shares, his eyes alight with determination. “But I’ll always be grateful for the role of Osama and the opportunities it afforded me. It saved my life in more ways than one.”Phenius’ journey serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of art and storytelling, as well as the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. From the depths of despair to the heights of stardom, Phenius Bullets’ story is a testament to the indomitable power of hope, courage, and the unwavering belief in the possibility of redemption.

Musa Mseleku, a well-known polygamist, recently sparked controversy online after he might have taken a new woman into his life. A close acquaintance has revealed to ZiMoja that actress Ntokozo ‘Goldivah’ Mzulwini could be next in line, according to Zimoja.

 

 

 

Fans first saw the new woman on the Mzansi Magic reality show Uthando Nes’thembu, and the internet went crazy. A recent photo that was published of Musa and the woman with his present wives, MaCele, MaYeni, MaKhumalo, and MaNgwabe, prompted commentary from entertainment analyst @Jabu_Macdonald. MaKhumalo gave her a brash side glance, clearly not impressed.In a shocking turn of events, actress Ntokozo “Goldivah” Mzulwini, who is purportedly in the spotlight as a possible fifth wife, has been spotted with MaKhumalo together in a video shared by the former Imbewu actress.Watch the video below:Mseleku has already introduced the alleged wife-to-be. “He has introduced Ntokozo to them and the wives have already met her. But he is still trying to check if she will fit into the home. It’s not official yet but they’ve started shooting with her on the reality show.’ The source added that the family was at the Mseleku headquarters in Mzumbe, as Zimoja confirmed from the source.

Nevertheless, die-hard Uthando Nesthembu watchers believe Mzansi Magic is hinting at the seventh season reunion episode, in which Mseleku is likely to present the actress as the fifth wife.

Due to conflict amongst wives, Mseleku dropped the idea of taking a fifth wife in season six of the reality series. Mseleku’s two wives, Mayeni and MaNgwabe, who are numbered two and four, respectively, had threatened to divorce him at the moment if he brought a new wife into the household.

The claimed new wife of Mseleku is no stranger to the small screen; on Umkhokha, she portrays KaMadondo, Ndlovu’s wife. In Imbewu: The Seed, she also portrayed the waitress Lindiwe Msweli.Her Instagram bio states that she graduated from the Durban University of Technology with a degree in acting and production. Mzulwini also works as an MC, motivational speaker, and host, according to The South African.
