Actor Mduduzi Mabaso has scored himself a new TV gig.

The talented actor will be part of the new Mzansi Magic telenovela Diep City, set to replace Isibaya.

He’ll be playing the role of low-level gangster Elliot.

Mduduzi told Daily Sun: “I was really excited when I was asked to be part of the show.“It’s always good to go where you’re needed and appreciated, and I can’t wait for people to meet Elliot.”

The actor described Elliot as a Zulu man who’s not forgotten where he’s from.

“He’s a normal guy from ekasi. He’s originally from KZN but has been living in Joburg for 10 years.“He’s also not lost touch with who he is.

“To many people he comes across as dangerous, unapproachable and problematic as he doesn’t care about anything else, as long as things are going well on his side. But he’s also charming and witty.

“It might seem as if he’s not different from the characters that I’ve played before.

“But Elliot is completely different and people will see that as the story progresses.

“I’ve been enjoying breathing life into this role.”

Mduduzi admitted that even though he’s played such dark roles before, playing Elliot was challenging. He said Elliot is nothing like him.

“Many people don’t know that I’m a softie and very kind-hearted,” he said.

“It’s probably my appearance that makes it difficult for people not to differentiate me from the characters I play on TV.

“This character is going to make it worse, and people are going to hate me even more as Elliot will be using young kids and getting them to do wrong things.

“But I’ll try to win them over with brilliant acting as I know our people in Mzansi love brilliant performances.”

Producer Mandla N said viewers will be blown away.

“The secret recipe behind great storytelling is a mix of several ingredients – a relatable storyline, great casting and passion for film-making,” said Mandla N.

“We expect viewers to be blown away by Nox’s story, which is one of poverty, heartbreak, redemption and hope all encompassed in one crime thriller.”

fter the passing of veteran actor Menzi Ngubane, many of his industry peers and admirers poured their souls out in wishing him a peaceful departure. When Mfundi Vundla paid his respects in an interview with a local publication, many accused him of crying crocodile tears.

A video has resurfaced where Menzi Ngubane spilled the beans on how Mfundi Vundla mistreated him and several other actors on his hit soapie Generations. If you may recall, Mfundi fired the entire cast of the soapie because they demanded higher pay. Instead of raising their salaries, he hired a brand new cast and renamed it to Generations: The Legacy.

However, it was Menzi Ngubane who suffered the most under his leadership as he was severely sick in some instances but was still required to film various scenes.

In the video, Menzi reveals that he had been bedridden for 7 weeks but when he was discharged on a Thursday, he got a call on Friday from Mfundi saying he needs to return to work on Monday. Giving him just a weekend’s rest. Obeying his rules, Menzi Ngubane got to work as weak as he was and still gave it his best despite being sick.“As weak as I was, 7 weeks in the hospital, I did not complain. The only important thing I had to do was go to work and make money for them, which is fine. I woke up on that Monday to go and work, as weak as I was. Every now and then they gave me a small chair to rest on. I did 6 to 10 scenes a day, as weak as I was,” said Menzi during a press conference.

Watching this video saddened me. 💔

Disregarding his treatment towards Menzi and many of the actors, Mfundi told TshisaLive that his death was a great loss to the local entertainment scene. “It was so sad. I stood there in shock. He was one of SA’s most talented actors and it is a big loss. He had health challenges but always bounced back. I am devastated.“I will always remember him as a great artist. He was very professional and a role model. Young people wanted to be like him. He stood out. He leaves behind a legacy. Thank goodness there is a record of his work that will always remain in tribute to him, something that can never been taken, for generations to see and be inspired by,” he told the publication.

After months of speculation that renowned Durban-born DJ Sithelo Shozi, is in a relationship with Andile Mpisane, the influencer has decided to make things official, saving us all from speculating all the time.

Andile Mpisane hosted his birthday brunch yesterday at his home in Durban, and Sithelo made it to the guest list, yass mommy! Andile and his family gathered outside their home for a feast fit for him, in celebration of turning a year older and he was showered with the most expensive gifts ever.His mother Shauwn Mkhize went all out to spoil his son, the reality show star bought him a red Gucci watch with real diamonds!

Sithelo also seemingly gifted him with a Playstation 5 and a pair of Nike sneakers.

Not only Andile enjoyed the perks of being spoiled on his birthday but he also showcased his heart of gold by revealing that he has started an initiative to assist students who have historic debts at universities. The soccer star will be donating R200,000 to help 20 university students pay for their previous debts.

“Today marks my 20th birthday and reaching this milestone has me reflecting on my life and how blessed I have been. Growing up requires one to look at things differently. As a young chairman, my focus has been on seeing team @royalam_fc grow but we cannot neglect the difficult year we’ve had because of COVID as it has resulted in many people being left unemployed and in unfavorable financial situations. In light of the current #FeesMustFall situation and in celebration of my 20th birthday this year I would like to give back by gifting 20 university students that have recurring debt from 2020 with R10 000 towards their fees. You can also nominate someone in need of this financial aid,” he shared on social media yesterday.

Sithelo and Andile had been keeping their relationship private for the longest time but they have been hinting on social media that they are a pair. The two have a baby girl together. Andile has been splurging his money on his baby to show her that he has her back and we love to see this.

Inno Matijane has stepped into the music industry with an amapiano song.

The media personality from Moja Love reality show The Way Ngingakhona said the song talks about how difficult relationships are nowadays.

“The song Ba Tlao Hurda shows how sad getting into a relationship can be,” he told SunBuzz.

“Getting the love of your life has never been so difficult. This generation has turned it into a nightmare.”
He told Daily Sun people need to know what they’re getting themselves into when starting relationships.

Inno made his presence felt in the entertainment industry with his skits in 2017 on Twitter. He then started growing as a brand.

“I co-hosted along the greatest media personalities such as DJ Sbu on DJ Sbu Breakfast, Garreth Cliff on Cliff Central and Tbo Touch on The TakeOff,” he said.

He’s also worked for BET Africa as a content contributor and field presenter.

His single, released under Jasmyn Records, came out on 10 March and it’s available on digital platforms for streaming.

The veteran actress Lusanda Mbane seems to be loving her new figure and many people did agree she look ravishing in the latest body transformation.

The businesswoman and entrepreneur has many talents and has several engagements that she is a part of. Earlier on, she has played roles in other leading soapies like Muvhango, Generations, and other productions, including Tempy Pushas and Soul City. Currently, Lusanda is the Managing Director of her recruitment company, and what’s more, she produces and hosts a show on Tru FM.Is the actress married, and who is Lusanda Mbane’s husband?

Yes! Lusanda Mbane got married Luzuko 15 years ago, and they are blessed with two kids: Liqhawe (13 years) and Lihlome (12 years). Therefore, the Lusanda Mbane family has four members. As you would guess, Lusanda enjoys being in the limelight. However, she strives to shield her family from such exposure,

Even though Lusanda Mbane loves every part of being in the limelight, including the constant fan attention, it’s been a juggling act to protect her family from the side of her career.

The actress told a local publication that one of the greatest lessons she’s learnt is that her husband and people around her never signed up for fame and that she has to protect them from its effect.

“I’ve embraced it and for me it’s a reinforcement that I am on the right track. But I found it was a bit more challenging for my husband and people who have to be around me. I had to understand that he didn’t sign up for it, so I stopped wanting to drag him to things like events unless they are really necessary.”
