It’s Thembi Mtshali‘s birthday today and she’s ready to throw one helluva party! The legendary stage and screen actress is celebrating an inspiring 70 years of existence on earth. Thembi Mtshali-Jones is a legend in the world of the Arts. Her most iconic role, to date, has to be that of Thoko on SABC’s popular show in the 90’s, Sgudi Snaysi.
The Kwa-Mashu-born actress has since reached greater heights in her chosen field. And what remains impressive and inspiring is that, even at 70, she is not about that retirement life! It’s a well-known fact that the majority of the producers in the entertainment industry largely favour the youth. However, mam’ Thembi has somehow managed to remain relevant and in demand as an actress.
Currently, the lanky actress is starring on Imbewu: The Seed on free-to-air channel, eTV. She portrays the character of MaNdlovu and being a true thespian that she is, the actress never delivers a mediocre performance. Mrs Jones still got it!
Taking to Instagram, Thembi marvelled at her long life which is worthy of celebration! Whoohoo! I’m 70 today. What a life! I’m blessed beyond measures. My celebration starts now. Happy birthday to me!! Big party this Saturday. ”
Her followers wished her a happy birthday:
TarinaPatel: ”Happy bday my gorgeous 😘😘😘 Ure as beautiful inside as out. We celebrate soon.”
SandileCele_SA: ”God bless you Mah….fika ku 100 udlule….live a full life like God intended for us….God bless you.”
OmatlaMahomo7: ”Happy birthday MaMtshali hope you have a blessed day may God bless you and keep you well along the years to come love you.”
Much like her character on Sgudi Snaysi, Thembi is also a fashion icon in her own right. Her sense of style is authentic and she’s hardly ever seen looking drab, because she always ensures that her thread game and make up are on a hundred!
Here are some of the few times, Thembi Mtshali-Jones was serving all sorts of inspiration with her life. #LifeAndTimesofThembi
