Siphesihle Zondi was born in Durban and raised there before moving to Johannesburg.
He attended Durban University of Technology’s Drama Department, as well as Movietech Film and Television College.
Just like most actors, who rose to fame at a mature age, Zondi had a profession before acting. He is an educator of note, one of the professions he has added on his bio on Instagram.
Very little is known about the talented actor’s past acting gigs. Nonetheless, he is best known for his role on Scandal! as Bra Jakes Hlatshwayo, Mabli and Winnie’s uncle.
Jakes is a real pain. He can keep family secrets until he gets tipsy, at which point uncle opens his mouth. Uncle Jakes is also the type of man who will do anything to make a fast buck and live comfortably.
Zondi appears to like theater in addition to her work on television. With his talent and charisma, we feel confident in his performances.
When he is not gracing the small screen, Zondi is making TikTok videos showcasing hilarious dance moves.
It also comes as a surprise that Zondi is a preacher considering how he effortlessly plays a manipulative drunkard’s role on Scandal!
Among other things, Zondi is a director as well as a choreographer. Don’t judge him by his age, he has quite some great moves.
Although Zondi shares less content about his private life on social media, he is a married man with a family he loves to bits.
