Siphiwe Mtshali was formerly regarded as one of the entertainment industry’s bad boys.
On the e-tv show Rhythm City, he portrayed a rebellious kasi tsotsi Bash who was constantly up to no good. Even in real life, people thought he was a nasty boy.

Prior to then, he was best known for hosting the dance show Jam Alley, playing Zamani Khoza on Generations, and working as a DJ on the SABC 1 drama Tsha Tsha.Former child star and YO-tv Presenter Siphiwe Mtshali, on the other hand, claims he was never a bad guy in the first place and has never done half of the things Bash can.

“The industry always perceived me as a bad boy because of the characters I played. They were always rebellious, bad boys, and when I did anything wrong or made a mistake in the outside world, I was seen as playing my character in real life. But that’s far from who I am.”

Siphiwe says he has always been a responsible husband and family guy who puts family first. He and his wife, Charmaine Mtshali, celebrate 16 years of marriage with their five children.

“Yes I have made a few mistakes, but I am human, it has not been anything outside of the ordinary. For me, my family always comes first and that’s all that matters,” he says.

“My oldest is 17, my youngest is 12 years old. They are demanding. They don’t want to be known as Bash’s kids, they want you to be removed on social media and just live their own lives.”

“Being a dad is also a full-time job, and being at home has helped me spend more time with my kids. But I am looking into my next project,” he says.

Siphiwe is working towards building a legacy for his family and children through his own production company.

“I have been hustling since. I know how to take care of my family even when I’m not appearing on TV. I have to hustle.”

Siphiwe says he can’t only rely on being cast for roles to make a living.

“I am tired of looking for jobs. I want to create jobs for myself and others. I don’t want to rely on auditions all my life. I don’t have a six-pack. I don’t have Instagram and Twitter followers and that is what is needed these days,” he says.

Zekhethelo Zondi is one of the country’s youngest on-screen actors, and her future seems promising. A handful of South African television producers have proven their potential to do so by engaging the talents of young actor Zekhethelo Zondi.

Zekhethelo has appeared in a few productions, including Isifiso, Collision, and Shadow. She now plays Nqobile on e. TV’s long-running in series opera Scandal!

“She is very sweet and innocent until you speak ill of her brother or sister,” the actress adds of her character Nqobile. “All hell breaks loose,” explains Zekhethelo.

“It is a blessing, many actors wish to be part of such a popular and successful show, however the Almighty gave me an opportunity and privilege to work with a great and talented team,” the 13-year-old actor says.

Zekhethelo states that she has always had a passion for acting, even when she was younger.
Her mother enrolled Zekhethelo in the Mehlareng Professional Actors and Performers Agency when she was six years old, and she has been with the agency for seven years.

“I have always been an actress from a young age, judging from the videos my mom has of me singing and impersonating characters that I saw on TV. My mom natured my talent by taking us to theater to watch live shows and sometimes took me and my brother to set with her as she is also a freelance actress.“

Her favourite character on Scandal! is Jojo Kubheka, as portrayed by veteran actor Melusi Mbele. He is kind and courteous to everyone at work, and I love doing scenes with him since he is really amusing and young at heart.”

Zendaya, Nomzamo Mbatha, Ntando Ncube, and Thuso Mbedu are among the many powerful women that the youngster idolises.

Her career is still in its early stages, but she already has a role that she considers to be a highlight, or at the very least one that she loved performing the most.

“My favorite character that I portrayed is definitely Nozi Gambu on Isifiso season one and two.”

“I’m hoping to perfect my craft and be able to perform on big Hollywood stages, with God’s help I can be the next Nomzamo Mbatha. But I also want to achieve and be successful academically. For me acting is about telling stories and I love and enjoy doing it. When I’m preparing for a role, I firstly analyze the script then I will identify the character’s personality, habits, behaviour and how she thinks then I will tap into my own creativity to bring the character to life.”

For the rest of her life, Kairo Forbes will carry the memory of her father, rapper AKA. She’ll also bear his likeness, as seen in a throwback photo posted on Instagram by his mother, Lynn Forbes.

Fans of the late singer believe the striking resemblances are a touching tribute to his legacy.

An unknown gunman shot and killed AKA, real name Kiernan Forbes, outside a Durban restaurant in February. Police have yet to make an arrest.

Lynn Forbes, AKA’s mother, posted a touching tribute to her son just days after the three-month anniversary of his death.

She captioned an image of the young rapper embracing her, “cut from a different cloth.”

And just one look at the photo revealed the striking resemblance between the late actor and his daughter Kairo.

In 2015, AKA welcomed his only child with his ex-girlfriend Zinhle Jiyane. The dad-and-daughter duo had an incredible bond.

And fans of the slain star think they share the same face, too, judging from the pic.

Meanwhile, AKA’s mother, Lynn Forbes, has hinted yet again that she intends to climb Mount Everest.

Lynn, also known as Glammy, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro five years ago to commemorate her 50th birthday and the birth of her first grandchild, Kairo. This time, she appears to be doing it in memory of her son.

In an Instagram Story last month, the mother of two shared a side-by-side comparison of Kilimanjaro and Everest. “I now live for a deeper place,” she wrote in another post’s caption.

Lynn’s post comes just a few days after she hinted at the daring mission. She captioned a picture of the mountain, “Everest.” “The mountain is calling to me, and I must obey.” The IG Story was set to AKA’s posthumous album Mass Country’s track Everest.

Mount Everest is located in Asia, across the China-Nepal border, in the Himalayan mountains.

Lynn’s participation in the dangerous expedition is unknown. She does, however, have invaluable experience. Lynn and a group of climbers attempted Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, in Tanzania in 2018.

The mission consisted of three parts: celebrating her 50th birthday, meeting her first grandchild, Kairo Forbes, and raising funds for charity.

Lynn participated in the 2018 Trek4Mandela Expedition, which raised over R1 million for charities serving disadvantaged South African schoolgirls.
