Uzalo Telenova is one of South Africa’s most loved and watched TV shows. It has uncovered a lot of hidden talent in KwaZulu-Natal. Never known before actors of Uzalo have become Mzansi’s household names and they are loved by people in this country and other countries who have access to SA’s TV shows. Names of actors whom we didn’t know before including the likes of MaNgcobo, Mxolisi, Mastermind, Lily, Njeza and Nonka. If it wasn’t because of Uzalo, we could have never known these great actors and actresses.
Some of them have left the show for greater pastures and they’re excelling wherever they’re. Those who left the show have inspired those that they have left behind to explore other channels. Lily, whose real name is Nokuthula Mathula, scored herself a radio presenting slot at Inanda FM, Durban. This community radio station has caught a big catch as it has welcomed the 29-year-old actress. Lily will be part of the presenting team of Inanda FM music programs. We have seen that Noxolo has acted in several television shows, including Falakhe and Hostel.
The actress is over the moon about her new challenging job. She said it was her dream to be a broadcaster, and it was something she had always wanted to do since she was a child. Lily said when the management told her that she would be leading the program, she was scared but happy that her wish would come true. Her show is titled Urban Top 30, it aims to keep listeners happy with the hot music that everyone is currently enjoying. What makes her happy is that her show isn’t only talking about music, but it will talk about the best topics, and listeners can call in, and express their views on various topics.
Thandeka Msane, who is the station manager said her station has welcomed her to help them with their broadcasting and attract more listeners. It’s good to see young people doing great in their fields and not shying away from other opportunities which might grow their presence in the industry. With this high rate of unemployment, young people like Lily needs to make sure that every opportunity that arises, they take and use it wisely.
