Dineo: “We are talking about being a millionaire. Have you made your first million?”
Mbali: “I still have a chance to become a millionaire, I haven’t made my first million, maybe next year. I think I very am close.”
Sol: “Good, I am sure the show is paying max there by The Wife.”
Mavimbela also discusses her plans for the future and reveals she could not study film and television as she didn’t have funds.
“I made sure that I hung out with the drama students because I didn’t have the funds to study film and television.”
She also tells the Kaya Breakfast team that her raunchy scene with Bonko Khoza on season one of The Wife was actually her “first intimate scene.”
But, because she had already built a relationship with her co-star, they were comfortable with one another. Mbalenhle aims to “understand the business side of acting and figure out how can she monetize her fame.”
