Thuso Mbedu On Not Having A Home After Being Orphaned! Whilst many envy celebs thinking they have it easy and probably rich, it’s not always the case. Rising star and International Emmy nominee Thuso’s beginnings will have you shedding a tear.
The actress recently opened up about her hardships and no having a home to go back to after losing her parents and grandmother. Thuso’s mother died when she was four, her absent father when she was 21. Her grandmother took care of her until 2012 when she also passed away.
“I don’t have a home to go back to. All the money I made from Saints & Sinners, I paid three months rents in advance and I had to relocate my sister and her child from KZN to Joburg,” she said.
Thuso described herself as a “nomad,” because she doesn’t “have a home,” even though she still has family in KZN. The actress believes that her faith in God has kept her alive when she wanted to give up.
“Without God, I don’t know where I would be. There were moments I would be at my weakest but I would still find myself praying.”
