Mangaliso a star is born!

South Africans praise Mangaliso Mthembu’s hilarious and heartwarming performance as Angie in One Weeks.

MANGALISO MTHEMBU: ‘I’M THRILLED THE SHOW IS OUT’

The One Weeks star Mangaliso Mthembu tells Showmax that she’s thrilled that the show is finally out and is thankful for the positive comments.

 “In 2022 my mom told me that there was this show that required a child, so she and I took action and did a video audition which was sent to production. After a few weeks, I was informed that I got the role. I was so excited! Fast forward to December 2023 and we then started filming. The rest, as they say, is history,” she says.

“I enjoyed acting alongside Aunt Sihle and Uncle Zakhele. We just had so much fun, and it hardly felt like work. The best part was us all being in the green room after rehearsals.”

“It was really just a fun vibe of chats and singing. Oh, and working alongside Uncle Siphiwe Mtshali and Uncle Mpho Malatsi was just pure chaos. If you thought those two are funny on-screen, you have no idea how silly they can get behind the scenes.”

The child star adds that she would like to either be on a kid’s reality show or maybe play the role of a gangster’s child after One Weeks.

BACKGROUND OF ‘ONE WEEKS’

One Weeks follows the story of a charming high school dropout from Soweto who finds himself unexpectedly dating a successful lawyer.

Showmax has just released the first trailer for One Weeks; a family comedy about Fana, a charming high-school dropout from the streets of Soweto, who can’t believe his luck when he finds himself dating Lihle, a successful lawyer.

He has to rely on the help of Lihle’s sharp-witted 10-year-old daughter, Angie, to avoid losing Lihle to rich men.

The comedy is created and written by Gomora’s Chris Q Radebe who reveals that the show will taps into the wicked sense of humour that South Africans possess but also sheds light on the financial dynamics between partners in a relationship.

“South Africans love to laugh at themselves. For this particular show, the premise showcases how partners carry themselves in a relationship where the gender roles are reversed. Every broke guy sitting at a corner in the township aspires to date a successful woman, because they think only about the perks. One Weeks holds up a mirror to the side of this dynamic that they know nothing about – the amount of work it takes to keep a woman of such calibre.”

One Weeks premiered on Showmax on 22 July, with new episodes on Mondays.
