Meet Prince Juniour Ntwenhle: The Little Star of Scandal
If you’re a fan of South African soap operas, you’ve probably caught a glimpse of the adorable Nkazimulo on eTV’s Scandal. Played by the talented two-year-old Prince Juniour Ntwenhle, this little guy has already made quite the impression on viewers, despite his tender age. But let’s be real—there’s not a whole lot we know about him, and that just adds to the intrigue!On Scandal, Nkazimulo is the child of Jojo and Winnie, played by Melusi Mbele and Fundiswa Ngcobo, respectively. Melusi, who’s 41 and has a rich background as a presenter, motivational speaker, and actor (remember him as Zolani on Rhythm City?), plays Nkazimulo’s onscreen father. Fundiswa, on the other hand, is making waves with her character’s controversial storyline, and she’s no stranger to the spotlight herself. Fresh out of her Hospitality Management gig at Radisson Red, Fundiswa landed her debut in theatre with Jabulani Africa, and now she’s captivating audiences on the small screen.
Now, let’s talk about Nkazimulo’s real-life superhero—his mom, Darlly Dubula. She’s the one behind his Instagram account, sharing adorable behind-the-scenes moments from Scandal. It’s clear that she’s bursting with pride over her little star, and who wouldn’t be? The photos of Prince on set are just too cute to handle!One question that’s been on everyone’s lips is about Nkazimulo’s paycheck. While it’s not exactly a fortune, the little star is reportedly earning between R10,000 and R15,000 a month. Not too shabby for a toddler, right? It’s a testament to how much the industry values young talent. South African soapies have seen some incredible performances from child actors over the years, proving that age is just a number when it comes to raw talent.
Speaking of talent, it’s worth noting that Scandal hasn’t featured a child actor in quite some time. When Tebello joined the show, he quickly won hearts with his authentic acting and fluency in Sesotho. After multiple auditions, he finally snagged his big break, and now it seems like lightning has struck twice with Nkazimulo. We’re all eager to see how this little one will grow into his role and showcase his acting chops as he matures.For now, we’ll just have to enjoy Nkazimulo’s adorable antics on Scandal. It’s a treat to watch him light up the screen, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this pint-sized star. Here’s to many more memorable moments and a bright acting career ahead for Nkazimulo!
