Thembinkosi Mthembu on winning a Safta for ‘Shaka iLembe’ role

THEMBINKOSI MTHEMBU: ‘IT’S A GREAT DEAL’

The Outlaws star Thembinkosi Mthembu tells Showmax that cracking not just one, but four SAFTA nominations meant a lot to him.

“I’m truly happy. When you love your work, you keep pushing every year. Even when I wasn’t getting nominated, I kept telling myself that I needed to work hard not just for the awards, but to keep improving in my job.”

 

 

 

Mthembu says being recognized by the NFVF for the SAFTAs is a big deal for him. He’s grateful that they see him and acknowledge the work he puts in.

“The time, the love and passion I poured into this character of Dingiswayo. I feel blessed. I’m grateful.”

The award-winning actor also thanks everyone he’s worked with and to those close to him for their support, from the executives to my family, including my mom and my wife.

“I also thank myself for pushing through,” adds the actor.

When asked why the series has done so well, he says that it’s a story that truly speaks to our roots and honours the heroes who came before us, those who paved the way for us.

“We’re here because of them, especially the Zulu nation. Thank you to Bab’ Zulu, Oyi-Nkosi Siyakhothama, for blessing this show, and also to our King Misuzulu for his support and for allowing it to continue. It means a lot to us. Our kids will grow up watching this show again and again. When they want to learn about the history of Shaka Zulu, they’ll turn to this show,” says the actor.

The popular drama series, Shaka iLembe scooped 12 awards at this year’s Saftas.NOMINATED: FOUR SAFTAS

The River star Thembinkosi Mthembu previously revealed to Sowetan that he had a mix of excitement and shock.

“I’m still shocked but excited at the same time. It’s been a long time coming.”

He adds that he’s put in the work for over five years and these nominations are just affirmations that he’s on the right track when it comes to his craft.

“Since the awards are not voted for by the public, I hope the judges will reward us accordingly. I’ll be happy with any award they give me, from any category. To me, there’s no big or small award, a Safta is a Safta. It’s actually a South African Oscar and I’m ready to own one.”

He received Best Supporting Actor nominations in The River and Best Actor nomination in Outlaws in the telenovela category.

Mthembu also received nominations for Best Actor in a TV drama for his roles in Adulting and Shaka Ilembe.

The Safta winning actor is currently filming the second seasons of Adulting, Outlaws and Shaka Ilembe.

Implications for Custody of Her Child with Jub Jub

Recent reports have surfaced indicating that South African singer Kelly Khumalo may soon be arrested in connection with the death of former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa. This development raises critical questions about the custody of her child with TV personality Jub Jub, as the possibility of incarceration looms over Khumalo’s future.

## Background on the Case

Kelly Khumalo has long been associated with the investigation into Meyiwa’s tragic murder, which occurred in 2014 at her residence. The case has been marred by delays and complications, yet renewed interest from law enforcement suggests significant new leads are being pursued. As authorities move forward, Khumalo’s potential arrest has become a focal point, triggering public speculation regarding the well-being of her child with Jub Jub.


 

 

 

## Custody Concerns: Who Will Care for Their Child?

The pressing question many are asking is whether Jub Jub could gain custody of their child if Khumalo is imprisoned. Custody decisions are often complex and consider numerous factors, primarily the best interests of the child. Given Khumalo and Jub Jub’s tumultuous history, the dynamics of their co-parenting arrangement will be crucial if Khumalo faces legal consequences.

If Khumalo is arrested, Jub Jub might seek full custody, particularly as the legal landscape shifts. South African law prioritizes the child’s welfare, and with Khumalo’s potential legal troubles, the courts may be more inclined to consider Jub Jub’s parental rights and stability.

## The Impact on Their Child’s Future

Should Khumalo be incarcerated, the implications for her child’s upbringing are significant. Jub Jub would likely take on a larger role in the child’s life, potentially resulting in changes in the child’s living arrangements, education, and social circles. The family courts would ultimately decide custody, but the possibility of Khumalo’s arrest could bolster Jub Jub’s claim to custody.

Conversely, if Khumalo were to secure bail or a reduced sentence, the custody situation could become more intricate, possibly leading to a joint custody arrangement. However, a conviction could definitively sway the courts in favor of Jub Jub.

## Jub Jub’s Role as a Parent

In recent years, Jub Jub has expressed a desire to strengthen his relationship with his child. If Khumalo does face imprisonment, this could present an opportunity for him to assume a more prominent parental role, providing a stable environment during a challenging time. Public interest is high regarding whether Jub Jub would be awarded custody, especially in light of Khumalo’s ongoing legal issues.

Custody disputes, particularly involving high-profile figures, tend to attract significant media attention. This case may set important precedents in South Africa regarding custody rights and parental responsibilities, particularly in cases involving legal troubles.

## Conclusion: The Road Ahead

As the situation surrounding Kelly Khumalo’s possible arrest unfolds, the questions surrounding custody and the future of her child remain urgent. For Jub Jub, this may be a pivotal moment to reconnect with his child and offer support amid the turmoil. Ultimately, any custody determination will prioritize the child’s best interests, ensuring that decisions are made with careful consideration of what constitutes a nurturing environment.

As the legal proceedings continue, the implications for both parents and their child will be closely monitored by the public and media alike.
