It was during this time he built a very strong friendship with the late Akhumzi Jezile.

Mthombeni’s love of broadcasting expanded into radio and he went on to work with Voice of Wits (VOW) FM in 2010 and youth station YFM from 2012-2014.

Never one to shy away from work, Mthombeni also tried his hand as an actor, according to TVSA.

He has appeared on e.tv’s anthology drama series eKasi: Our Stories as well as SABC1 drama series Intersexions and candid camera comedy film Ek Joke Net 2.

His most prominent job to date was as one of four personalities originally hired to sit on the panel of the SABC3 talk show, Trending SA.

Mthombeni was fired from that role along with his fellow panelists to make way for the show’s current team.
