Gomora Actress Thathi ‘Katlego Danke’ celebrates birthday, real age shocks Mzansi
It won’t be fair enough to talk about the South African entertainment industry without implicating Katlego Danke into the equation. The seasoned actress has become one of Mzansi’s finest of late with her unmatched talent. She is best known for her on-screen character Thathi on Mzansi Magic’s drama series Gomora.
However, apart from acting, she also doubles as a radio DJ and TV presenter. Her illustrious career spans decades, and she is not holding back. In the mix of things, she has capped her career with accolades such as the precious Golden Horn Award.
Her thrust into the limelight came with her Backstage gig in 2002. However, her unmatched talent saw her winning several gigs. Notable gigs that made all sorts of headlines were from Isidingo and Generations before casting on Gomora.
In recent years she has been best known as Dineo Mashaba on the Old Generations, but her Generations fame is quickly fizzling out given her on-screen character on Gomora. Since her debut on Gomora, she has managed to wow Mzansi, and she is that star actress we all love to hate. A few ago, the actress won big when she won big at the Annual Royal Soapie Awards.
