Personal Life

If you are vaguely familiar with the South African entertainment scene, then Boity Thulo might need no introduction. She’s an actor, musician, model, television personality… phew! What has she not done? Before we dig into her numerous roles, let’s roll back the years.

In the absence of her mother who went to the city to work, she was cared for by her maternal grandparents whom she speaks of very highly. In an interview with a South African television show Real Talk, Boity fondly remembered this period of her life.

“I was very fortunate to have this kind of upbringing actually. It would have been fantastic to have mum and dad at home and have a regular societal family but I was wholeheartedly blessed to have such deep-rooted humility and knowledge that my grandparents instilled in me. It was as if they were preparing me for this journey.”
