Fulufelo Mugovhani welcomes her newborn

Actress Fulufelo Mugovhani recently took to social media to share the joyous news about the arrival of her newborn baby.

Mugovhani first hinted at her pregnancy earlier this year, posting a photo on social media that clearly showed her baby bump. She captioned the snap, “Proof of life.”


 

 

 
More recently, she shared another heartwarming photo, this time cradling her newborn in her arms while sharing a sweet embrace with her toddler. She playfully captioned the moment, “Coffee-fueled cuddles.”

In recent years, it has become increasingly common for South African celebrities to keep their pregnancies private, only announcing the news after their baby is born. Fulu’s low-key approach aligns with this trend, allowing her to share the news on her own terms.

Rumours have swirled about Fulu’s relationship with DJ Miza, whose real name is Itumeleng Trevor Modibedi. Modibedi entered the entertainment industry in 2008, working on Nutty Nys’ album Vintage Love and later contributing to the hip-hop show Battle Stations on SABC1.

Born in Thohoyandou, Limpopo, Fulufelo is a celebrated South African actress known for her dynamic roles in film and television. A graduate in musical theatre from Tshwane University of Technology, Mugovhani’s early career included a standout role as Nala in an international production of The Lion King in Hong Kong.

She gained widespread acclaim for her lead role in the 2015 film Ayanda, earning her multiple awards, including Best Actress at the 12th Africa Movie Academy Awards and the 10th South African Film and Television Awards.

Beyond Ayanda, Mugovhani has showcased her versatility with her portrayal of Anzani in the e.tv soap opera Scandal! and took on roles in Isidingo and Ring of Lies. In 2020, she starred in the series Still Breathing and the comedy film Seriously Single.

‘Muvhango’ tuture in limbo as SABC contract nears expiry

‘Muvhango’ tuture in limbo as SABC contract nears expiry

The fate of Muvhango, one of South Africa’s longest-running soapies, hangs in the balance as its contract with the SABC is set to expire at the end of July.

This comes despite previous efforts to keep the 28-year-old drama alive on SABC 2.


Last year, the show faced an uncertain future when it went off-air for over two weeks while awaiting contract renewal.

During this period, frustrated cast members feared job losses. However, in a last-minute save, the production was revived, bringing in fresh talent, including veteran actress Leleti Khumalo, to add star power.

The show was created by seasoned media figure Duma Ndlovu, known for producing hit telenovelas such as My Brother’s Keeper, Umkhokha: The Curse (Mzansi Magic), and Sibongile & The Dlaminis (Mzansi Wethu).

Ndlovu, a former journalist with years of experience in the US, made headlines last year after being arrested on charges of fraud and tax evasion amounting to R25 million.

He was released on R100,000 bail, while his co-accused, tax practitioner Rodney Mutsharini and Maxwell Mloyi, were granted bail of R50,000 each.

According to a source, the SABC allowed Ndlovu time to resolve his tax affairs before making a final decision on Muvhango‘s future.

“Duma Ndlovu has a strong working relationship with the SABC, which is why they extended a chance for him to sort things out. However, without a tax clearance certificate, the broadcaster had no choice but to reconsider the show’s future,” the insider revealed.

SABC 2’s Head of Communications, Mmoni Ngubane, confirmed that Ndlovu’s company was granted a one-year contract for Muvhango 2.0 last year.

“The SABC can confirm that only one season of Muvhango is currently contracted and that the current contract is set to end on 31 July 2025. The SABC cannot comment on the future of the programme at this stage,” Ngubane stated.

When approached for comment, Muvhango’s production company, Word of Mouth, through its spokesperson Thanduxolo Jindela, opted not to speak on the matter.

With time running out, uncertainty looms over whether the beloved telenovela will continue beyond its current season.

Mogau Paulina Motlhatswi is a South African actress best known for her role as Mapitsi in the SABC1 youth drama series turned soap opera, Skeem Saam.

 

 

 

 
Born in Limpopo, near Lebowakgomo, she later moved to Johannesburg, where she attended Piet van Vuuren Primary School in Brixton. During her school years, she excelled in athletics, cross country, and netball.

She completed her high school education at St. Mary’s in Waverley, where she studied drama, history, and geography up to matric level.

Her favourite subjects were dramatic arts and history. As a weekly boarder, she cherished the experience and went on to pursue a degree in Audiovisual Communication at the University of Johannesburg.
