She plays the role of a young woman who receives a calling from the ancestors(gods) to become a sangoma(psychic/traditional healer).

Ishmauel Songo Profile-Biography, Net Worth, Career & Age

We(zainfo.co.za team) are pleased to inform you about Ishmauel Songo Profile-Biography, Net Worth, Career & Age

Name: Ishmauel Songo
Date of Birth: 26 May 1995
Age: 26 years old
Occupation: Actor
Known as: Sabelo from Rhythm City
Nationality: South African
From: Tembisa, Johannesburg

Background:

Ishmauel Songo is a South African actor, presenter and A.F.D.A graduate who is well known for playing Sabelo Jethro Zwane on Rhythm City. He was born on 26 May 1995. He grew up in what he called “poverty stricken environment” of Tembisa, Johannesburg in Gauteng province.

Acting career of Ishmauel Songo

Though Ishmauel Songo is widely known for his Rhythm City character Sabelo, he has appeared also on the 2005 South African movie called Tsotsi and was a presenter on SABC 1 YO-Tv. He then later came to Rhythm City where he had a cameo role as Sabelo Jethro Zwane. [1]

In 2021 he landed the role of Mpande Zulu on Showmax telenovela Hlomu The Wife. He initially auditioned for the role of Nqobizitha on The Wife but he didn’t get the role and he was given the role of Mpande.

“Little did I know I got the role but I think they already knew they wanted me but not for the role of Nqobizitha. They probably saw that I would do better for the role of Mpande,” he said.

In January 2022 his role came to an end in the form of death and fans were heart broken.

“Playing the role of Mpande Zulu was not easy at all because I was born and raised in Johannesburg, so tapping into that kind of Zulu was difficult, but if you’re a gifted actor you need to go do your research,” he added.

His Rhythm City Sabelo character

The Rhythm City character Sabelo Zwane is married to Sindiswa. Ishmauel appeared on Rhythm City as a Nyaope boy by the name of Sabelo, he was playing alongside Nkosimpendulo Cengani ( portraying Emmanuel ). Seeing how Nyaope was such a huge problem in his poverty stricken Tembisa location where he grew up, he proposed the Nyaope boy storyline. He had to sit down with Nyaope boys in Tembisa to learn how they roll their joints so that they can make the storyline more convincing.

“I saw how bad the problem of the drug had become, it’s become like HIV,” said Ishmauel Songo.[2]

Sabelo grew to overcome the addiction of Nyaope and was later employed by Suffocate Ndlovu at Kilowatt as a barman. The former Nyaope boy later got Married to Sindiswa, thanks to Suffocate who assisted with Lobola funds. Ishmauel Songo’s Rhythm City story line is so inspirational, from Nyaope boy to a married barman, this shows that its possible to overcome Nyaope.

Ishmauel Songo’s girlfriend and Children

Though we know him as Sabelo who is married to Sindiswa on our screens, behind the scene, the Rhythm City star is not yet married but has got a girlfriend by the name of Mbali. And he has got two children, a daughter from the past relationship and one with his current Queen of London. He loves his two daughters and always share their pictures on Instagram.

Ishmauel’s Networth

He acts as a barman and living in his mother-in-law’s house but in real life he is far better than that. Songo recently renovated his parent’s house as a surprise (we dont know how he pulled it). The star owns a mini cooper worth R486 000. His overall Networth is about $85 000.[3] [4]

Born 1983 on the 5th of May, Menzi Brighton Biyela is a South African actor, singer-songwriter, rapper, director, entrepreneur, music producer, and voice-over artist. He graduated from the Durban University of Technology in 2004 with a Diploma in Drama. Which included Drama, Acting, Singing and Writing. Menzi is pretty much the definition of a multipotentialite. He has so many talents. Many of which include, Singing, Rapping, Acting and Music production. Brighton has a youtube channel called Menzi Biyela where he shares snaps from his career. In one of the videos, he shared his long ago acting scenes with the legendary Siyabonga Shibe.

He furthermore shared some of his rapping and singing performances. Menzi has been in the acting and Music industry for a very long time. Close to 30 years. However, most of the time he is behind the scenes directing movies and theatre plays. He has a company called Properlymade Management Concepts which deals with Film production, theatre plays, and even produces music. You can say he does not think inside the box.

Acting Career and Filmography

His acting career is one that is not short of a journey. He was featured in the following films, Blessers (2019), Soul City (2020), and Five Tiger (2020). These are the films for which he is featured on Imdb though there’s nothing more than this. Menzi Brighton Biyela’s most prominent roles are his role on Rhythm City as Mandlakhe and Pastor Gwala on Uzalo.

His acting skills are so mad insane that when he took on the role of Pastor Gwala people thought the Pastor would also be a crook like Mandlakhe is on Rhythm City. Bringing clarity to this Menzi did share his thoughts on this saying that people could not distinguish between the characters Menzi plays and the character Menzi is in real life such that they tie one to the other.

Often mostly the one they see on Tv, he even jokingly added that some people probably thought he is a crook in real life. However, this may and is probably true, so many actors have been harrassed in public and on social media because of the roles they play on television.

Moreover, Menzi said that he hopes to shed light on the flexibility of the two worlds by showing people that he can be a very good timid Pastor and a good Criminal too. He hopes this will shed light on how acting works since people get the wrong ideas of the craft by thinking that the roles played by actors are a reflection of their true character.

Family and friends

The actor has a son called Sipho Biyela who is roughly in his early teen years. He has shared quite a few posts of them together on his Instagram. Menzi is quite the timid and humble person, you’d be surprised. He is proud of his work and often times shares snaps of himself in the work field which shows how passionate he is about his work. Brighton is friends with the famous singer Sjava and has shared quite many snaps of them together, being a singer himself it is hard to tell if they’ll ever do somethibg together. Menzi’s biographical information was hard to find but we will keep looking.
