Gaisang Noge ‘Mampho’s business empire and net worthThe actress grew up under the shadows of her famous father, Dosto Noge, a Selimathunzi presenter. However, she made a name for herself on her own without the influence of her father. Since her debut on Efa Motho Motho, she has been featured in The River, Bo Mama and another film called 5Clicks. Recently she landed a role as one of the lead actors in The Wife on Showmax playing Naledi. The actress also has a clothing line and works as a model, and her net worth is an estimated R1.9 million, with most of her money coming from her acting career.

ACTRESS Petronella Tshuma has opened up about being a single mother.

The actress, who recently broke up with the father of her second child about a year ago, took to Instagram to share her experience of raising two young boys alone.

“Nearly a year ago Camagu’s dad and I split up. Was that ever the plan? Of course not. So here I am a mother to two beautiful boys with different fathers. Who would ever want to be with me again? Am I used goods. I must have been the problem, right? My lobola price will probably cost pocket change,” she said.

The actress, who plays Pearl on Rhythm City, said she had breakdowns at work after the break-up.

 

“I could not act. Lines would not stick. But here I am, a single mum with two kids that I need to provide for. Rhythm City, my amazing family were understanding. Gave me time and the greatest support. Offered and would pay for therapy. I did not go because I then got the news that the show was being cancelled. I remember saying to my cast members ‘how will I look after my children?’

My children are the only people on this earth that have witnessed all my colours. The good and the bad. The beautiful and the ugly. And yet, for some reason I am the world and more to them,”

But above all, Petronella said being a mother is the best gift she has ever been blessed with and with such comes great responsibility.

The actress, who got her big break 10 years ago when she auditioned for Class Act in front of Rapulana Seiphemo, James Ngcobo and Moonyeenn Lee, went down memory lane and recalled a moment when she was asked what else she is good at besides acting and she responded and said: “All Im good at, is being a mum. And during it all, I’m continuously finding myself. That beautiful little girl I did not know existed. I filled everyone else’s cups including the characters I would play and have nothing left to give myself. Self-work is not for the fainted-hearted. It is gritty but rewarding.

According to Sunday World, the couple started to drift apart, and distance started to play a role. Khaya said he was unaware that several of them were participating in the same relationship, which was like a show.

He wanted to continually cover up the many red flags because of the discrepancy between the relationship Khaya believed he was in and the reality of the situation.

Despite knowing that there were a lot of them, Khaya continued to wonder how many of them were involved in that relationship. “I even lost count,” Khaya hinted of infidelity.

Blogger Musa Khawula exposed the dirty laundry of Khaya Dladla, claiming that they had stolen Mercucio from a friend named Smiley because they believed Mercutio had money while they were poor.

One of the longest-running South African soapies, Muvhango, is getting some retouching – for good. The series has not only announced new additions to its cast but it has also brought back at least two previous cast members.

If you’re a big fan of Mulalo and Matshidiso, whether for their acting gifts or their creative ingenuity in pushing the story forward, you might want to know that the two of them are returning to Muvhango. In fact, the news of their return to the series is already causing a buzz online, with some South Africans seemingly chuffed that the two will be back into the ever-evolving world of the soapie.

Beyond the two characters mentioned earlier, fans of Muvhango should expect new additions like Mudi Mudau, who played the character Nkele Dikeledi Netshitangane, and Sinete Nemakonde, who played the character Reneilwe “Rene” Netshitangane.

The other additions fans can expect as part of the series include Aubrey Mmakola and Tshepo Mosese.

With the additions and corresponding announcements, expectations are pretty high. If the actors are able to live up to expectations is left to time. One thing is clear, however. Viewers will share their thoughts about the performance soon enough. Will you be ready for that?

Sydney Ramakuwela is set to make a “surprise appearance” on popular drama series Muvhango almost two years after he was shown the door by the show’s producers.

His come back was announced by the SABC on Thursday evening. “The Royal outcast comes back from Mauritius,” the SABC confirmed.

“Mulalo is best known for his scheming, self-victimisation and constant comparison to Azwindini, as he feels he should also have a predominant role in the Mukwevho family.”Viewers can look forward to seeing him on the Friday night episode.

In 2022, there were reports that Ramakuwela, who played Mulalo and had been part of the cast for 15 year, was booted off the show alongside MacDonald Ndou who played KK.According to reports, while no outright reason was given for the pair’s dismissal, their contracts were not renewed when everyone was signing new contracts. “We were told that the story was taking a different direction,” commented Ndou at the time.
