Thulani Mtsweni, the actor who plays Ntokozo on the South African soapie, Gomora, has recently come under scrutiny due to his appearance and stature, which has led fans to believe that he is much older than his reported age of 30. The revelation that Thulani is only in his early thirties was met with disbelief by fans who were convinced that he looked much older in real life than his onscreen persona.


 

 

 

On 16 March, South African Black Twitter president @ChrisExcel sent shockwaves through Mzansi when he revealed that Thulani Mtsweni is only 30 years old, according to Google. However, there seems to be some discrepancy between various online sources regarding his exact date of birth. Some sources claim that he was born on 12 March 1994, while others report that he was born on 31 July 1968 or 12 March 1987.
According to a report by SavannaNews, Thulani Mtsweni is actually 55 years old. He was born on 31 July 1968 in Tsakane, East Rand and is a late bloomer in the acting industry. Unlike other soapie stars who find success at a young age, Thulani only appeared on our television screens in 2015 at the age of 47.

Thulani’s journey to success was not an easy one. He faced rejection and hatred in the acting industry and had to work with student-produced plays for a long time before he got his big break. His major television breakthrough came in 2017 when he landed a role on Isidingo, where he played Shadrack Bhekiziswe Sibiya, a miner who always courts trouble. Over the course of his acting career, he also played Mpihlangene Zungu on Isibaya and was featured on e.tv’s Rhythm City, where he played the role of an abducted boy.

Thulani’s appearance on Gomora has made him a household name in South Africa, and fans are impressed by his acting skills and his ability to portray his character convincingly. However, his appearance has also sparked debates about ageism in the entertainment industry and how actors are often judged based on their appearance rather than their talent.

It’s not uncommon for actors to play characters that don’t match their real ages. In fact, many actors have played characters who are much younger or older than their actual ages. However, Thulani’s appearance has led to a deeper discussion about how actors are perceived in the industry, and how ageism and other biases can limit their opportunities.

Despite the challenges that he has faced in his career, Thulani remains determined to succeed in the industry and to inspire others who may be facing similar challenges. He has spoken out about the importance of hard work, perseverance, and dedication in the pursuit of success, and he continues to be a role model for aspiring actors in South Africa.

Thulani Mtsweni’s appearance on Gomora has sparked discussions about ageism and bias in the entertainment industry.
