A few times every generation, an actor or actress emerges whose performances can change the way the public thinks about an issue. Leleti Khumalo is such an artist. She captured our hearts as children in the 1988 film ‘Sarafina’. Although she has managed to live life away from the limelight, here are a few facts that we managed to collect about this brilliant star. 1. When Leleti auditioned for the role of ‘Sarafina’ in 1987 , she was only 15 years and blew everyone away with her perfomance 2. Shortly after the movie was done, Leleti got married to the very director Mbongeni Ngema, who we see from the film hitting on her on countless occasions. 3. Leleti who is now divorced from Ngema has shown regret over and over , calling the marriage a disgusting experience, and expressing remorse for having married an already married man. 4. In 1993, she released her first album named Leleti and The Sarafina and dedicated it to the late Mohammed Ali 5. She starred in major movies after that, Hotel Rwanda and Yesterday 6. Leleti is now married to a business man, Skhuthazo, he is two years her junior and together they have twins, totalling to three children for Leleti one from ex husband Mbongeni Source.

Reminds me of a part of my childhood. I used to want to watch commando, rambo, no retreat no surrender, etc my mom and my sisters used to prefer sarafina, sound of music, etc. That caused a lot of beef. I guess I lost the beef cus I ended up watching sarafina something like 100 times between 95 and 97. 12 Likes |
