This is not the first time I’m saying this and it’s probably not the last, most South African actors don’t look their age, one either looks younger or way older than he or she really is. Mpho Phakade’s real age will leave you shocked.

 

 

 

 

 
Let me start by telling you his real name and surname because I know most of you know him as Mpho Phakade from Generations The Legacy, his real name is Junior Singo. He is from one of the biggest townships in South Africa, Soweto.

Junior Singo was born in the eighties, 1989 to be exact, that makes him 32 years old as of the year 2021. How many of you thought he is a 2000? Well, he’s a grown man. His age really came as a surprise to me, I thought he is atleast 25 years old, not in the early thirties.

I always hear people saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, today I learned why we shouldn’t. Thank you for reading this article, enjoy the rest of your day.
