Asavela Mngqithi Lends a Helping Hand to ‘Isibaya’ Co-Star Gcina Mkhize
Hey there, blog readers! đ Today, I want to chat about something heartwarming thatâs recently surfaced in the South African entertainment scene. Letâs talk about the incredible gesture from actress Asavela Mngqithi, who stepped up to help her former âIsibayaâ co-star, Gcina Mkhize.
It all started when Gcina decided to reach out for support on social media. She posted a heartfelt video asking for donations to help her through a tough time, and it turned out the response was overwhelming! Among the wave of support that flowed in, Asavela donated a generous R2000. How awesome is that?
But Asavela wasnât alone in this. Thanks to Gcinaâs bravery in sharing her story, she received over R20,000 from fans and several other celebrities who rallied together to show their love and support. Gcina expressed her gratitude in her own words: âI would like to thank each and every person who has made a donation to our BackaBuddy campaign⌠All the money is making a huge difference in our lives. My children and I are eternally grateful.â Isnât that just the sweetest?

Itâs truly inspiring to see how the entertainment community can come together, even during challenging times. Celebrities like Celeste Ntuli, Nomzamo Mbatha, and many others joined in to support Gcina. Even her neighbors and childhood friends contributed, proving that kindness knows no bounds.
However, it hasnât all been smooth sailing for Gcina. She revealed to Sunday World that she has only worked five days this year. Yep, just five! The acting industry can be brutal and unforgiving, and Gcina hasnât held back in discussing the challenges sheâs faced. She mentioned that standing up for oneself can sometimes lead to backlash, particularly in an industry where people often donât appreciate it.
She also addressed a controversial video she made about Covid vaccines, suggesting that her honesty may have ruffled some feathers. Despite this, Gcina seems to have made peace with her situation, stating that sheâs ready to explore new paths if necessary.
As we wrap this up, itâs clear that the entertainment world is filled with talent, but itâs the compassion and kindness of its members that truly shines. Seeing Asavela and others step up for Gcina reminds us of the importance of community, especially during tough times. Letâs continue to uplift one another and spread kindnessâit really can make all the difference!
Until next time, stay kind and keep spreading the love! đâ¨
