Real Talk with Anele Season 3 Episode 6 - Somizi Mhlongo

Somizi Mhlongo’s career in entertainment spans over 30 years. Born into the entertainment industry, to veteran actors Mary Twala and the well-known comedian, late Ndaba Mhlongo, there's no doubt that Somizi Mhlongo, affectionately known as Somagaga, has showbiz in his blood and the vanguard of entertainment. In this up-close and personal with Somizi, Anele goes down memory lane with this legend, from his debut on Sarafina, the theatre production before it was turned into an actual musical, his evolution into a world renowned dancer and choreographer, to being openly gay in modern day South Africa and being a father

[@JasonVonBerg]

When he talks about being passionate and doing something for the love of what you do, I can completely relate. It's interesting to hear it too because sometimes we just get so clouded and caught up in the rat race. Great interview, Anele

@somizi, is a gentleman, i met him in zara shop Gateway mall Durban, asked his bodyguard to allow me taking a snap with Somgaga, he directly spoke with Somizi if i could take a snap with him and he was very kind, "He then said no problem my boy" lol yeah... He is a good person, as we say in French, "Il est très cool avec les gens" Big up Mr Som Som

[@leehippie1]

Yes, it was really well done! She definitely looked at both sides of the story!

[@nosisamkhombe5208]

The wisdom coming out of Somizi is incredible. So you can be dramatic and wise onetime. I've always'thought that wise people are mellow and conserved. Clearly i was wrong.

[@sisref]

you once said hi to me in a nicest way it made me so nervous why you were soo friendly. Loved you like mad from that time onwards, you made my day. That was ten years ago!

[@minamoo08]

He is such a breath of fresh air. The fact that he is not chasing the American dream alone, shows you how grounded he is. Everyone is chasing the heels of the Kardashians & E! entertainment and he is just like...Nah! I love it. Thank you for being so humble, funny and just a great person to look up to!

'God throws you into the fire, for you to come back as Gold'. Well said Somizi!! So thought provoking yet on point, that gave me an Ahaa!! moment.

OMG WELCOME BACK, only seeing the new channel now. My heart when I saw an IG post that you'll be interviewing Somgaga and realizing I might not see it because channel dololol!!! My heart!!!! The joy in my heart now, love this guy and I must add I was curious about what happened with their friendship with Bonang, beside that part of the story, overall this was fun to watch, interesting and inspiring. He's one of the SA celebrities I'd love my mum to meet in person one day, even if it's just seeing him from a distance a show or something. Thank you RealTalk 💕, thank you Anele 💕, thank you KZbin 😉🎥. P.S. I love when he talks about God. He's truly humble, you can see and feel it. Looooove him 💕, he kills me all the time 😂.

[@dikeledimapeelo1378]

True.Somizi says it as it is, Sometimes one gets in a friendship too deeply and finds out that she was the only one who valued the relationship.I can relate to that, i have experienced that and have learned to just be friend not be too deep and hopefull i no longer wants to befriend as i can afford to go to that memory lane of losing a friend ever again.

[@beebee3526]
