| Dear Fellow South African,

On this Saturday, 18 July, South Africa will join the nations of the world in celebrating Nelson Mandela International Day. As we approach this day, we consider not only the acts of service that millions will perform on that day, but also the deeper purpose that Madiba intended the marking of his birthday to serve.

GLADYS MAHLANGU: The Heart of Ubambo Lwami ✨

In the late 1980s and 1990s, South African television changed forever when Ubambo Lwami hit our screens. Gladys Mahlangu played the role of Mazondi, bringing a powerful and real energy to a story that kept millions of families locked inside their living rooms every week. She shared the screen with massive actors like Menzi Ngubane, creating an intense, unforgettable drama that showed the real grit and heart of township life.

When that classic era ended, Gladys chose to step away from the cameras and live a quiet, very private life. Even though she left the flashing lights behind, the impact of her work never went away, and fans from that golden age of TV still remember her incredible talent today.

South Africa did not just watch Gladys Mahlangu. She helped build the foundation of our television history, and her work will always be a reminder of a time when local drama spoke the absolute truth to the people.
