Actor Andile Mxhakaza says that his faith has helped him make different life decisions now compared to the past.
He stated that he chose to be saved in 2019, a decision that transformed him deeply, even in his acting career. Recently, Andile was seen playing a leading role in the drama series Isithembu SikaMsongelwa.
Furthermore, two weeks ago, he was announced as one of the new cast members in the fourth season of Isitha: The Enemy, which premiered at the beginning of this month.
In this series, he plays the role of Mapholoba, a dangerous criminal. Andile shared that securing his previous role in Shaka Ilembe and his current role was not easy, but fasting and prayer helped him immensely.
“After I finished filming Shaka Ilembe, things went very quiet, and I almost lost hope in life. However, my family and my faith helped me stay hopeful that things would work out one day. When I went to film Shaka, I would pray beforehand so that everything would go smoothly. By the time I got this current role, I had already packed my bags to move to another country. Just one day before my departure, I received a call informing me that I got the job. I was overjoyed and saw that my faith had worked for me,” said Andile.
He mentioned that the role of Mapholoba has been highly challenging for him because he has to speak in various dialects, which is not easy.
“People will love Mapholoba because he is a criminal who appears to be a good person to the public, but he is ruthless to those he confronts. I believe that in the next three months, this show will become massive, and people will learn a lot from the upcoming storylines,” he said.
He added that he has been through a lot in life, and making the decision to change his life allowed him to leave his past behind.
Andile rose to fame through his roles in Taxi Bosses, Housekeepers, Isibaya, The River, Gog’ Helen, and Zone 14.

From the Stage to the Soul: Sello Maake KaNcube Opens a Warm WhatsApp Door for Every Artist Ready to GrowJohannesburg, 21 March 2026 – On Human Rights Day, when South Africa pauses to remember the price of freedom, one of our most beloved voices chose to give something back instead of taking a bow.

Sello Maake KaNcube, the actor whose presence has filled theatres, television sets and film screens for decades, quietly launched a new creative home. Not a fancy building with red carpets, but a simple WhatsApp community where artists – young dreamers and seasoned performers alike – From the Stage to the Soul: Sello Maake KaNcube Opens a Warm WhatsApp Door for Every Artist Ready to Growcan finally stop struggling alone.

He’s calling it a space for mentorship, longevity and real artistic excellence, powered by the Sello Maake KaNcube Foundation NPO. After years of chasing roles, mastering his craft and learning the hard truths of the industry, Sello has decided the next chapter of his life is about sharing what he’s learned so no one else has to bleed quite as much.

Every week, members will step into free masterclasses led by the man himself. They’ll get honest coaching on delivering monologues that actually move people, practical advice on building careers that last, and heartfelt conversations about discipline, purpose and keeping your integrity when the industry tries to bend you. No gatekeeping. No fees. Just real guidance from someone who has walked every mile of the road.

“Creative talent alone is not enough,” Sello says softly. “What sustains an artist over time is discipline, self-knowledge, and community. This platform is about sharing what I’ve learned – not just about performance, but about surviving and thriving in the industry with integrity.”

At this season of his life, Sello has chosen harmony over hustle. He’s traded the noise for clarity and turned his energy toward service. The community is rooted in the same Pan-African heartbeat that has always guided his work – using stories to heal, to empower, and to help build a nation that values its creatives.

 

For many young artists in townships and rural studios across South Africa, doors have stayed locked. This WhatsApp circle is Sello’s way of sliding one open and saying, “Come in, let’s talk.”

The stage legend is no longer just performing. He’s mentoring. He’s listening. And he’s reminding every creative soul out there that their gift deserves to grow old gracefully, not burn out in silence.
