The entertainment industry is the one and only career aspirations for some people, but some choose to have multiple careers like the celebrities that we are talking about. Either it's for backup reasons, the feeling that they need to complete school no matter how much money they have or just the love for a certain profession. The following celebrities did what they had to do and got their degrees.
1.Nomzamo Mbatha
Nomzamo Mbatha is a TV personality and actor, she received her accountancy degree in 2018 from the University of Cape Town. She claims that it was so hard for her every January because she always had something reminding her that she had a certain completion to make and she felt like she wore the face of failure for so long, despite everything she was achieving the feeling would not go away. So there it is Nomzamo is a qualified accountant. What does she lack though? I mean she is talented, beautiful and book smart.
2.Thando Thabethe
Thando Thabethe's fans were in a confusion lately because of a picture that was posted by her wearing a graduation regalia, a lot of them thought she was graduating so they sent her love and sweet congratulations messages, Thando then took to instagram to clear the confusion stating that she was not graduating and that it was just a visit to her high school to give a speech and also clarified that she had graduated for BCom in Accounting in 2011. So yep this beautiful actress, entrepreneur and TV personality has a whole degree! How cool!
3.Gigi Lamayne
Looks like Gigi has always been about show business because even her university degree does not deviate from entertainment. Gigi graduated from the University of Witwatersrand with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media and Anthropology. Apparently this was not just a graduation since Gigi graduated as top of her class with four distinctions, you go girl!
4.Dr Musa Mthombeni
Dr Musa is one of the people who literally grew up on TV, we all know him from his YOTV days. He claims that although he loved TV he also wanted to be a doctor, so while he was still in the entertainment industry he was working on becoming a medical doctor but it got a point where school needed a lot of his attention so he put the show business aside to get his degree. Dr Musa Mthombeni now has a degree in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Witwatersrand also, he did not throw the art in him away as he is back on TV and can be seen on the SABC 3 show Trending SA where he is a host along 3 other presenters.
5.Innocentia Makapila
Innocentia well known as Rendani to her fans is an actress on a popular SABC 2 soapie, Muvhango. She has been an actor there for 5 years but with such a flourishing acting career Innocentia still had hunger for education so she went on and got her Honors degree in Linguistics at the University of Johannesburg, yep! That means she has two degrees, talk about black excellence.
These are just a few of them but there is a number of our South African celebrities who did not shy away from education.
