Ballito youngster Mangaliso Mthembu is making her presence felt in the acting world.

The Reddam House Ballito Grade 6 pupil is one of the lead actors in the popular Showmax series, One Weeks.

The 11-year-old’s bubbly personality and outspoken nature make her shine both on and off the screen.

Mangaliso plays Angie, a sharp-witted 10-year-old who helps her mother’s boyfriend navigate the challenges of their new relationship.

The show is a family sitcom about Fana, a charming high-school dropout from Soweto, who finds himself dating Lihle, a successful lawyer.

Angie is crucial in helping Fana avoid losing Lihle to wealthier suitors. The series stars Zakhele Mabasa-Mokone as Fana and Sihle Ndaba as Lihle. Mangaliso’s portrayal of Angie has been praised for its authenticity and charm.

Surrounded by family and friends, a debut viewing took place last Monday night at Sugar Rush.

The event was filled with excitement and pride as everyone celebrated her achievement.

Mangaliso’s ability to bring her character to life so convincingly have quickly made her a beloved figure among viewers.
