Rising TV star Rainy Nthangeni has landed her first lead role in the new comedy series Bhelas, a show on Mzansi Magic about chasing your dreams.
Born and bred in Protea Glen, Soweto, the 24-year-old has had minor roles in Impikiswano, Obstruction, Ndingowakho, and Empini. Nthangeni opened up about her journey so far:
I started acting in grade 10 when I was doing poetry at church. I realised I loved performing, so I began writing skits, and we would often win first place at church. When I was in matric, my parents asked me what I wanted to do, and I told them I wanted to become a chartered accountant.
