Lungelo Mpangase is a South African actress, model and influencer. She is best known for her debut lead role as Khethiwe on the Mzansi Magic drama series eHostela and as Ntokozo in the Mzansi Magic series Mzali Wam.
In 2019, Mpangase had a near-death experience when she was involved in a car accident that left her with an injured spine that had her off work for a couple of months, but she eventually recovered.
Her first big lead role was as Khethiwe, a young woman who aspires to become a maskandi star, in the Mzansi Magic drama series eHostela.
She then appeared in an Mzansi original film Themba Lam, which was made by graduates of M-Net’s Magic in Motion Academy and first aired on Mzansi Magic on 15 June 2019. In that same year she was featured in the film Idlozi which aired on Mzansi Magic.
In 2021, she landed another lead role as Ntokozo, a graduate looking for work, in the Mzansi Magic drama series Mzali Wam. In that same year, she also hosted a bursary competition on her social media platforms. The competition was not only aimed at assisting students with tuition but was to also encourage aspiring actors.
In May 2021, she was allegedly physically attacked by a fellow actress on a set of her new movie in Vosloorus, Gauteng.
Actress Lungelo Mpangase has scored another major role.
The talented actress, who’s best known for her role as Khethiwe on Mzansi Magic’s drama series eHostela, has bagged a role on Mzali Wam.
She will be playing the role of a graduate looking for work.
Lugelo told SunBuzz: “Scoring another role on such a major TV show is affirmation that whatever I am doing is good, it really feels great.
“Acting is something that’s very close to my heart and I love what I do. This role came at the right time because I was looking for a new challenge as I really love to challenge myself as an actress.”
The 26-year-old star, who plays the role of Ntokozo, describes her as naive and someone who is easily lured.
“Ntokozo is a graduate looking to live her dream job of helping people in need. She finds herself between a rock and a hard place when she finds out her parents aren’t her biological parents,” she said.
“She is a bit naive and is easily lured, but at the same time she is determined and hardworking, very respectful and well-mannered.
