Happy Birthday to Londeka Sishi♥️
New bombshell on the block Londeka Sishi is one to look out for on our TV screens.

The 26-year-old actress from Port Shepstone, KZN, scored her big break in the television industry earlier this year when she landed the role of Nkanyezi on Showmax’s Adulting.

 

 

 

While she’s fairly new to the entertainment industry, Sishi – who has no relation with former SMag cover star Ntobeko Sishi – is slowly carving a name for herself and is grateful to be pursuing her true calling which is acting.

“I come from a strict family where a career in acting didn’t seem like a viable option. After a while of wanting to get into this space and getting rejected at auditions, I kind of gave up on it and focused on my corporate career,” Sishi shares.

“One day, a colleague and I saw an open call posted on Instagram by Tshedza Pictures for a new show. My colleague asked me to try my luck and because I’ve always had a passion and love for acting, I knew I had to go for it.

“I recorded a self-tape and submitted it, I got a call back shortly after that. There was a bit of back and forth after driving up to Joburg, I got the role.”

With the acting door she had been waiting for finally opened, Sishi had to relocate to Johannesburg to be in close proximity to the set. She described the past year as “an instant overwhelming change” that seemed surreal.

“After the first episode aired, my social media following increased drastically. I started being recognised by the people on the streets who wanted to take pictures with me… so many people started showing me some love which was overwhelming but incredibly beautiful to experience,” she said.

“I had to go for counselling because of how drastic things changed for me. It was like a shock to the system how my life dynamic has changed because I am now on TV. So far, I haven’t had any bad encounters with fame and I hope it stays that way.

Get to know who the young woman truly is by understanding her acting career. The character she plays is the total opposite of who she truly is. She may have some similarities with the character in the sense that she loves God too in real life and may sometimes get loud in circles and environments she is comfortable in, but that is far as the similarities go.

 

 

 

Gugu Gumede may be well-known because of her mother, a freedom fighter and prominent politician in South Africa, but there is more to the beautiful young lady. She is passionate about acting and her love for God, family and the church, something that many people may not be aware of.
Gugu’s family As earlier mentioned, Gugu was born to prominent parents. She was, however, raised in a single parent home, with her mother, but her parents had a respectable relationship with each other. Gugu Gumede father passed on in 2017 in a car accident. At the time of his life, he served as a member of the KZN legislature and was a member of IFP. Gugu acknowledges that she is her mother’s daughter. She can be very stubborn and could not take nonsense from anyone, just like her mother. Her family, she says is an overly loving one but also extremely sensitive
Gugu started by studying acting and drama in American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, where she had planned to live all her life. Upon coming back to South Africa in 2013, she landed a role in Generations where she starred as Mandisa. However, she is best known for her role in the popular show Uzalo, which is the most watched telenovela in South Africa currently.
