A CTOR and script editor, Muzi Mthabela (40), has been a notable success in the entertainment industry. The Isibaya star has been a model since 1999 and also worked as a script editor on shows such as Zola 7, Zone 14 and City’s Ses La.

MEETING HIS FATHER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Growing up in Mzolwa, KwaZulu-Natal with his siblings and single mother, Muzi had a carefree childhood.

He did not know his father, who had separated from his mother and only met him when he was 12-years-old.

Regardless of this circumstance, the actor drew a lot of lessons from his father.

“He taught me to be a responsible man and I believe that if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am in life,” says the former The Road star.
