His father did not like it when Thabo took to acting, believing it was associated with politics and his son might die.
Thatโs why Thabo Mnguni, well-known for his role of chancer Bra Steve from Family Bonds ran away from home in Lamontville, KZN, to Joburg to pursue an acting career.
In spite of his fatherโs fears, Thabo (50) is still alive and kicking today while playing Khethukuthula Mbatha in Uzalo.
Thabo said Mbatha is s a power-hungry church member who wants to lead the congregation but has no idea how to do it.
