South Africa's talented star Dumi Masilela





Dumi Masilela born on May 31st 1988 , Kempton Park Gauteng. He was an actor for South Africa’s most loved soapie Rhythm city playing the role of “Sfiso Ngema” for the past five years; he was a former soccer player for Supersport United and a musician.
Going back to where it all started at the age of 16 its's where Dumi revealed his talents. He took part in soccer and was awarded a sports bursary from the University of Pretoria where he went to join the university’s sports academy. As good as he was in soccer, his talent was noticed by one of the country’s biggest soccer teams Supersport United where they signed him on three-year contract. He was then involved in a car accident which made his soccer dreams fade.
At a later stage he decided to pursue his other talents. In 2012 He participated in the eighth season of Idols SA where he made to the Top 18. But that never broke his spirit , he believed in himself and still hustled his way up in the music industry. Today, he is known as one of the country’s well known-musicians for his hit song “Shona Phansi”.
Dumi has been with Rhythm City cast for the past five years. He was playing the role of a street kid who later made something for himself. He was seen starting up his own record label. His role in soapie kind of related to what he was passionate of in real which is music. On the soapie he was helping young stars,upcoming musicians release their albums, making the best out of their voices.
This multi-talented star has recently got married to his beautiful wife Simphiwe Ngema who is also an actress. This beautiful couple had their beautiful traditional ceremony two months ago.
Dumi Masilela died on Wednesday night 3rd of August 2017 following an attempted hijacking where he was shot and rushed to the hospital . Unfortunately he didn’t make it. Fans across the country are sending their heartfelt condolences to the Masilela family.  We will forever miss seeing him on our screens, a very young talented man indeed. May His soul rest in peace.
