He is loaded, Former Durban Gen actor Luthando Mngomezulu ‘Bheka Sithole’s business empire impresses Mzansi.
Remember when Durban General hospital had a troublesome patient who walked in missing his manhood? Bheka Sithole gave the doctors and nurses of the hospital a run for their money with his lies. Bheka rushed into the emergency ward with his hand clutching his private parts. The man lied that a dog had bitten him when asked for the removed part.
In another ward, a young lady walked in wanting a rape treatment kit and opened up to the doctor that she had been sexually assaulted. She took out a man’s manhood from the bag she had orally castrated during the assault. The case then was handed to the police after Thulani solved it. It was a funny few days on-screen and off-screen when he played that role because the actors knew Luthando as their director.
After graduating from Drama school, Mngomezulu did a couple of plays in Theatre as a performer. The performer holds two Honours degrees in Film and another in Theatre. The degrees are from the University of Witswatersrand and the University of Capetown, respectively. Luthando has worked his way up as a director and started at the bottom to earn the respect he now has in the industry.
