In Pictures: Generations actress Lesedi Diale “Luyanda Mzazi’ lifestyle gets Mzansi talking.
South African actress Luyanda Mzazi is known for playing the character of Lesedi Diale on Generations The Legacy. Lesedi grew up in Mamsonto’s orphanage on Generations The Legacy and was later adopted by the Diale family. Over the storyline, Lesedi gave birth to Banele, her son with Jerah Moroka and now works at #Ezweni, a Moroka owned Media house.
She is recently undergoing a tough time after losing her biological mother to breast cancer, and she found out that she also carries the cancer gene. Luyanda Mzazi is a mother of one; she gave birth in 2019 and played a pregnant teenager on Generations The Legacy.
The actress cherishes the challenge of being a mom.
“It is amazing. The one thing that has changed is my priorities. I put my child first. I have a happy, healthy baby, so it isn’t that stressful.”- Luyanda Mzazi
Over her Generations career, Luyanda grew from being a supporting cast member to a leading role on the SABC 1 longest-serving soapie. Being on one of the most-watched soapies in South Africa brings fame and money. She earns a monthly salary of R24 000 for her role and gained social media influence which she turned into advertising platforms as an influencer.
With an Instagram following of 615 000 and an influence among the youthful population, Lesedi provides an advertising platform for corporates targeting the youth. She bagged advertising deals with toiletries producer Baby Soft and Coca Cola in 2019.
Together with her friend and partner Nthabiseng Hlabangane, they formed Paving Forward, a non-profit organisation focusing on youth development and hygiene.
Luyanda doesn’t miss an opportunity to spoil herself on vacation; she frequents game parks and beaches. South Africans question if her income is enough to sustain her fancy lifestyle? With Luyanda valued at R 1.1 million, she surely can afford to spoil herself.
