Most of the actors we watch on TV are more related than you think. Some are sons and daughters of great actors, some are siblings, partners or even cousins. So, in this video we will look at 10 South African actors you probably didn't know were siblings or Cousins. But first, subscribe to our RU-vid channel for more content like this.
1. Harriet and Matthews Manamela
I know most thought its a coincidence that these two share a surname, but it actually isn't. Harriet Manamela who plays Meikie Maputla on Skeem Saam is actually a cousin to Matthews Manamela who plays Babeile on the same show. Matthews revealed this in a recent interview with sunday world. While some knew this most probably didn't and thought their surnames only coincided by accident. Even though they're cousins, there are very few pictures of them together.
2. Mpho and Mpho J Molepo
Uhm we only added these guys to clear the confusion. They share the same names and are both big actors, well not big like big names but... you get the point. Anyways, these two were rumoured to be actually related. But how true was that? Well, turns out, names, height and weight are probably the only things they may have in common. Other than they're not related. Although Joseph Molepo had jokingly said all Molepos are related, irs honestly a joke and some took it too seriously and started running their mouths about how the two were actually related.
3. Nelisa and Londeka Mchunu
I know the truth can be surprising but I'm sure most of you probably felt it that these two were related. Cuz they are. Londeka is the biological sister to Nelisa Mchunu. While Nelisa was more famous on Uzalo as Fikile, Londeka is best known for playing Zanele Zwide on House of Zwide. The two come from a big family but they're the only two who decided to pursue the arts and have succeeded very well. In fact, Londeka is also one of the headwriters at House of Zwide and no shade whatsoever but come on, she gotta work on her storylines cuz just come on. No shade tho. But we're not gonna say she's good or anything, she can do better.
4. Oros and Lunathi Mamphofu
The moment you heard these names you probably pressed the next video but this list wouldn't be complete without some good old oros. Oros, has a twin but they obviously didn't name him oros, like honestly what was going in the parent's minds am I right? Anyways we're not gonna talk about his twin cuz he's not an actor but we're gonna talk about Lunathi Mamphofu. Lunathi is best known for playing Zaza in King of Joburg, and Emma on The River. While Oros may be recognized as Banele on Rhythm City and other roles like that. Amyways, the two are siblings and even own a company together, together with their twin brother too who prefers not to be on TVs and stuff like that but chill back at home and stay away from the lime light.
