She might have a familiar face, a face that leaves you thinking you have seen before, chances are that you have. Her last name might sound familiar. That is all because she Anele Mdoda’s sister. You know Anele right? Yes the only Anele in Johannesburg - Beyonce’s biggest fan in the entire universe amongst other things. Having said that Thembisa has never been the one to ride on her sister’s hustle and success she has earned her own stripes in her own approach. Just as renowned and respected within the circles she maneuvers and fields of expertise. I have always known her as Thembisa ‘The girl with a fierce handbags collection” only after a year I found out that she was Anele’s sibling. She is a mother of two boys (twins) and wife to Athandwa Kani, the son of renowned actor John Kani.

Should you ever wondered
WHO THE HELL IS SHE? Well let’s find out what Miss Thang is about, as she
answers a few selection of questions I threw her direction.
1. I love your vibe
2. How would you describe yourself in one word?
Meticulous
3. What is it that you do and why?
I'm an actress and an arts journalist because
if it wasn't for art I'd be walking around aimless.
4. You are a biggest inspiration to someone reading this;
may you please share with them a few words of wisdom they will forever cherish,
and ignite their will power to keep on keeping on:
When you're going
through hell, keep going. Keep telling yourself they don't know who they're
messing with.
5. Has there been a defining moment in your life that made
you decide to take the direction in life that they did?
I've had two. When I
played Winnie Mandela in a theatre production, my loves for theatre grew in
leaps and bounds, and when I had my twin boys that grounded me and made an
understanding performer out of me (hope that makes sense)
6. Your STRICTLY two favourite South African bloggers?

Africa’s fashion, style and trends playground – fresh faces, underdogs and

Monaco

UNACCEPTABLE!!!
11. When do you stop doing things for free and start talking
money?
When people entrust your
vision with their money. I believe in earning your stripes.
12. South African bloggers; what is it that they doing
completely wrong?
Some SA bloggers can't
seem to separate their personal lives from their blogs/work. I can't take them
seriously after that.
13. Do you buy clothing items based on the fact that
you saw a celebrity wearing a loaned designer outfit? Does it matter, does it
make a difference?
I'm very meticulous when
it comes to my look. I envision it in my head and I don't stop until I get it
right. I look and see everything and everyone and draw inspiration. So yes.
14. The most unglamorous thing about fashion is?
Style!!!
