Mbalenhle Mavimbela was a recent guest on Kaya 959 Breakfast with hosts Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka.
The actress spoke about her career, acting in the Wife, and a whole lot more. She shared that she is close to becoming a Millionaire.
“We are talking about being a millionaire. Have you made your first million?” asked Dineo to the new mom.
She responded: “I still have a chance to become a millionaire, I haven’t made my first million, maybe next year. I think I am very close.”
Sol Phenduka commented, “Good, I am sure the show is paying max there by The Wife.”
Mbalenhle added: “I made sure that I hung out with the drama students because I didn’t have the funds to study film and television.”
A wealthy businessman was said to be her baby daddy but he denied this but confirmed she had a baby but with a male celebrity.
According to a report by City Press, he denied being the father.
“Yes, she had a baby, but I am not the father. The father is well known, but I am not the father. The father is in the [entertainment] industry as well. He is a celebrity. She is a friend of mine.”
“I am not a celebrity, and I would not want things like this written about me. I just called her after we spoke earlier to ask her if she knows why people are saying I am the father of her child … She is currently in hospital with the baby, and they are both fine. Everyone in the industry knows her boyfriend. I am just a friend,” the businessman alleged.
