Another star who has become Mzansi’s favorite is Didintle Khunou. The starlet has managed to captivate the masses with her talent and beauty since she burst onto the acting scene. recently caught up with the actress as she opened up about her journey to stardom. The petite actress says she was a very timid child when growing up but, as soon as she started performing on stage, she stepped out of her comfort zone.

“I was a shy kid but the first time I stepped on a stage and performed I knew that this form of artistic expression was more than just fun and games for me. It became an opportunity for self-discovery and it was a deep spiritual calling,” she explains.

Didintle hails from Maglera, Klerksdorp in the North West Province and she says she has fond memories of her childhood abut growing up on a farm.

“I think I enjoyed living on the farm, growing up in nature, helping out with the family businesses, and having fond childhood memories of playing with my sister and best friend, Boipelo. We lived a quiet life.”
The actress says her parents have always been supportive of her career even though they doubted her acting career at the beginning.

“I’m blessed to have parents that understood my vision and dreams. Just the other day, they jokingly reminded me that they assured me that if the acting career doesn’t work out they will gladly pay for me to pursue another degree. Thankfully, there hasn’t been a need for that at all. They are really proud of me and I’m happy they let me pursue my dreams even though they had their initial doubts,” she states.

The award-winning actress who holds a BA Honours Degree in Dramatic Arts from the University of the Witswatersrand, kicked off her acting career in theatre plays and she has since carved out an inspiring acting career.

“Outside of the foundations of the craft of performance, theatre has taught me that my authenticity and individuality as a performer is what will set me apart, it’s where my magic lies. It has also taught me to be fearless and aim to always work outside my comfort zone.”

The starlet says she was inspired by the likes of Lorcia Cooper, Warren Masemola, and Lerato Mvelase to pursue an acting career.

Didintle has graced our TV screen on numerous shows including Mamello, Single Galz, and The Throne. The actress recently bagged a hit role on BET’s Africas first original drama series Isono. The drama tells a gripping tale of secrets we hide and the many faces we wear.

The actress says due to the number of self-tapes she had to send she thought she would not score the role.

“I had to send in many self-tapes at the time as I was working on my award winning show Rocky Horror Show in Cape Town. I almost thought I wouldn’t get this job with the number of self-tapes I had to send out, but the good Lord works in mysterious ways.”

The actress star alongside veteran actress Nthati Moshesh, Anga Makubalo, Rami Chuene, and many more. Didintle portrays the character of Esther and she says her character is all sorts of inspiration to many people due to the challenges her character encounters in life.

“I like that Esther is an example of the complex identities found in South African millennials. I like that we get to see her really struggle before she blossoms and matures into the amazing young woman that she truly is. Esther teaches us that we are all a work in progress, we all make mistakes but we have to learn to be accountable for them. She also shows us the importance of being really mindful of who you keep around you. The people you keep around you can really make or break you,” she explains.

Speaking to Daily Sun the actor said he wants people in Limpopo to tell their own stories using their mother tongue. Adding that stories in Limpopo are in abundance however are told by other people because the province does not have the resources.

“I want people in Limpopo to tell their own stories, in their own language and do it while in their province. There are many stories from Limpopo, but they’re filmed in other provinces because we don’t have the resources. That will soon change because Wyza Media Studios is now open.

The actor who plays the role of Mrekza on Generations: The Legacy says this has been in the works for over 10 years. He had money however he needed sponsors and partners to help get it up and running.

“The aim of this project is to take Limpopo to another level in the film and TV spectrum. I’ve had this dream and have saved money for it. I had no sponsors or partners,” he said.

Kope Makgae says people outside the province can access it and are free to use the equipment provided.

“This was a sacrifice I was willing to make and reaching my dream is amazing. For example, we have the Kruger National Park and people come and film documentaries here. They can hire equipment from us. They don’t need to bring their own.”

This is the second project the actor has embarked in this year. In January he opened a film and TV academy called Wyze Media Academy in Limpopo in January.

“I basically want to uplift Limpopo and teach them about the film and TV industry, hence the school and now the studio. I want to encourage people and teach them about my journey, give those who don’t have access to information help. I also want to show people that I haven’t forgotten about where I come from,” concluded the actor.

Another actor who gave back to his community is Luthuli Dlamini with the inception of NTU News on May 28 2020. Luthuli and his partner decided to help disadvantaged communities get their news and stay up to date with what is happening in the country currently. They prioritized these places because they believe they have little to no access to WiFi, cell phones, cannot afford data and not television. All of which are widely used to get informed.
