Black Brain Pictures executive director Mandla Ngcongwane, affectionately known as Mandla N, has revealed that he is willing to help troubled actor Carlo Radebe after he fell on tough times.

With an illustrious career spanning years, Carlo Radebe is arguably one of the best actors to come from South Africa.

 

MANDLA N: ‘I’M WILLING TO HELP HIM’
The seasoned actor is best known for his on-screen character of Duke Ngcobo on the e.tv series Backstage.

Carlo Radebe has starred in several productions, including iNumber Number and How To Steal 2-Million.

However, the actor hasn’t starred in any production in the last three years and has been struggling to make ends meet.

Earlier this year, he hogged headlines when it was reported that he needed assistance to make ends meet.

Against the plea, he reportedly received donations, but the actor recently revealed that some of the promises which were made never materialised.

Earlier this month, Carlo Radebe took to his Facebook page to plead with good Samaritans to assist him as he struggled to make ends meet.

Against the backdrop of his second plea, Mandla N, who has worked with the celebrated actor, made it known that he wanted to have him on his team.

Mandla N is best known for being the brains behind some of the biggest productions in South Africa and has been credited for thrusting a host of now-seasoned actors into the limelight.

Speaking to TimesLive, Black Brain Pictures executive director said, “I’m willing to help him. We deal with audition methods when gathering our casts. I need to engage with the channels to secure something solid.

“He is a great actor, and his name speaks for itself. My hands are tied as the channel must give the green light.”

CARLO RADEBE OPENS UP ABOUT HIS STRUGGLES
The troubled actor was a recent guest on Podcast and Chill with MacG

Speaking about his struggles, he said, “After 19 years, I have found myself alone. When you lose your job, you lose your car and your apartment, and you turn around and see how many friends you have.”

Carlo Radebe added, “I don’t blame people. It’s survival of the fittest out there. People don’t want that energy.”

Carlo Radebe also opened up about how he failed to network with others during the peak of his career.

“I never networked myself, and this is before social media… This is word to the wise: you cannot be marooned on an island thinking your lucky stars are going to be sparkling… you have to network,” he said.

“I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time,” she added.

The cause of death of both Mariah’s mom and sister have not yet been revealed.

THE SINGER, HER MOM AND SIBLINGS
Mariah had a complex relationship with her mom and sister. Patricia was married to Alfred Roy Carey, and together they had three children – Alison, Mariah and Morgan. The pair later divorced when Mariah was three years old.

“Our relationship is a prickly rope of pride, pain, gratitude, jealousy, admiration and disappointment. A complicated love tethers my heart to my mother’s,” she wrote in her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, published in 2020.

“Like many aspects of my life, my journey with my mother has been full of contradictions and competing realities. It’s never been only black-and-white — it’s been a whole rainbow of emotions,” she wrote.

However, Mariah still maintained a relationship with her mother, who she expressed, did her best. While she also stated that it was “emotionally and physically safer for me not to have any contact” with both siblings, Alison and Morgan.

Upon realising that she is been pranked, the help walked out of the room.

Social media users were not pleased with the prank, as she was dressed differently which obviously proves that she is the help in the house.

“Why do people make their domestic workers dress like this? And this isn’t funny,” a Twitter user wrote.
