Selbeyonce Mkhize returns to Uzalo while thriving on Ukhozi FM! Award-winning Ukhozi FM presenter Selby “Selbeyonce” Mkhize continues to make waves in the South African entertainment industry, excelling in both radio and television. The dynamic personality, who hails from Inanda, north of Durban, has once again landed a role on Mzansi’s most-watched TV show, Uzalo.
Selbeyonce Back on Uzalo
Selbeyonce, who co-hosts the popular weekday afternoon show Woza Nabangani Bakho alongside Khathide “Tshatha” Ngobe on Ukhozi FM, is thrilled to be returning to the small screen. He will be reprising his role as Selbeyonce on Uzalo, a character that resonates with many fans of the hit SABC1 soapie.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Selbeyonce expressed his excitement about being back on Uzalo, emphasizing how it feels like coming home.
“I’m excited to be back on Uzalo again. It feels like home because Uzalo and Ukhozi FM are both under the SABC, which is my home.”
Thriving in Radio and Television
Selbeyonce’s return to Uzalo is particularly special because he is part of the fictional K-Mash FM, a radio station within the show that often features real-life radio stars. Past appearances on Uzalo have included former Ukhozi FM presenter Linda “Mr Magic” Sibiya and legendary Lesedi FM host Thuso Motaung.
The talented presenter has always juggled multiple talents, and he’s thrilled that he can now balance both radio and acting. His success in the radio industry has been remarkable, with Woza Nabangani Bakho securing the Best Afternoon Drive Show award at the SA Radio Awards in 2023.
Selbeyonce credits his success to his passion for entertainment, which has allowed him to build a loyal fanbase across radio, television, and social media.
“What excites me is that Ukhozi FM is the number one radio station in Mzansi with millions of listeners, and Uzalo is also the most-watched soapie in the country. Being part of both is truly an honor.”
A Rising Star in Acting
While many fans recognize Selbeyonce from radio, his acting career has been growing steadily. His journey into acting began in 2018, when he landed a breakout role as Pearl, a transgender woman, on Generations: The Legacy.
Despite being a short-term role, Pearl’s character left a lasting impression on audiences. While working on Generations, Selbeyonce received an unexpected call from the Uzalo production team, offering him a role on the soapie.
“While I was with Generations: The Legacy, I also got a call from Uzalo, asking me to join them. I quickly jumped at the opportunity because my role on Generations was only for two weeks.”
His experience on Uzalo opened new doors, allowing him to explore more acting opportunities. He also appeared on Imbewu: The Seed, where he played Lulu, another transgender character.
A Role Model in the LGBTQ+ Community
Selbeyonce’s presence in both radio and television has made him an important figure in South Africa’s LGBTQ+ community. As an openly gay and gender-nonconforming personality, he has broken barriers in the entertainment industry and continues to inspire many young people.
By embracing roles that reflect real-life experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, Selbeyonce is contributing to greater representation in mainstream media. His charismatic personality and ability to connect with diverse audiences make him one of the most beloved entertainers in the country.
A Bright Future Ahead
As Selbeyonce returns to Uzalo while maintaining his presence on Ukhozi FM, his career continues to flourish. With a strong following and a growing legacy in South African media, he remains unstoppable.
Fans can catch Selbeyonce on Uzalo, airing weeknights at 8:30 PM on SABC1, and listen to him on Ukhozi FM, where his voice continues to captivate millions.
