We all love entertainment and Mzansi is not short of people that keep us glued to our screens. Families are a blessing and sometimes a curse, but for these families, they are a blessing and then some!
Here is a list of our most favorite celebrity families here in Zalebville and why we cannot get enough of them. Read more and find out whether your personal fave will make it on the list.
The Ranaka's
The Ranaka family which has taken the limelight by storm, comprises talented members like Dineo and Manaka Ranaka and in general the whole family is a group entertaining people.
Dineo Ranaka after deciding to annihilate her television show Dineo’s Diary , she and her family started their television reality show named The Ranakas on Mzansi Magic at 20:00.Manaka also stars on Generations The Legacy and most recently on LockDown season 3.
There is no denying that this is one reality TV series that has kept us glued to our screens with all the family drama that we have had to witness. And at this rate, it can only get better from here.
This has got to be one of Mzansi’s favourite celebrity families. From the late Shona Ferguson who made quite the impact in the film industry with his power woman Connie Ferguson, theri love story was one that had us believing in love for a long while.
Connie is now running the family business and raising her two beautiful daughters, Alicia Ferguson and Lesedi Matsunyane Ferguson. Lesedi, who is also a mom, has taken a role in the Ferguson Films business where she works as a casting and talent director.
As for Alicia, she just bagged one major endorsement deal not too long ago and it is always a beautiful sight to see the woman she is becoming. Other than Ferguson Films, the Fergusons run and own their own foundation, Ferguson Foundations that helps to uplift the lives of many in the community. Yes, we love to see it.
Another celebrity family that has caught our attention for quite some time now are the Modiselle sisters.
Refilwe, Bontle and Candice have shown us that they are a force to be reckoned with in entertainment, from dancing to presenting and modeling, the future looks very bright for these three ladies and we can't wait to see them flourish beyond their wildest dreams.
And while Bontle and Candice have always been famous for their dope acting skills, Refilwe is quite literally taking the modelling industry by storm. Despite being born with albinism it is good to see that she has embraced her beauty and is living her life to the fullest.
The Thusi sisters cannot be left behind on this list as they have caught the attention of many with their charm and good looks.
Pearl Thusi came to the spotlight when she was crowned Miss SA Teen Pageant in 2003. Since then, she remains one of Mzansi’s most acclaimed media personalities. Her sister Pamella came to the public eye through her dancing moves at Rocking N heels and Prunella is a socialite.
It is always good to follow them in their individual journeys and we love to see how well they are growing over the years.
The Bala brothers are yet another group of talented siblings who took the entertainment business by storm back in the 90's when Zwai played a pivotal role in the birth of Kwaito group - TKZee. Years later we were then blessed to witness the talent of their youngest brother Phelo.
Of course, just like with every other family, they have their own drama and woes. Just recently Phelo’s marriage with comedian Moshe Ndiki was put on the spotlight, especially after Mzansi suspected that the two of them may be splitting up. It is still a matter of speculation at this point but we can only hope that things will work out for them.
There is no way the Mpisane family was going to miss out on this list. Time and time again, they have continued to make headlines for all the good things and of course for the unthinkable. From living it big and soft to of course causing the biggest ripples in the entertainment industry, this family is one that never leaves the mouths of many in Mzansi.
MaMkhize runs and owns a football club and her son Andile Mpisane works as the Chairman. The family runs a couple of other businesses in the country and this has meant that the family name has also gained quite some stature throughout the years.
But where do we even begin with the scandals? Well, that is a story for another day. No family is perfect, yes?
They say that family is the most important thing in life and these celebrity families have proven that. Despite their many dramas they continue to stick it out for each other and it is a beautiful sight to see.
