Zim Actor Chrispen Nyathi Shines In SA Film Industry

Chrispen Nyathi, a 28-year-old Zimbabwean actor living in South Africa and originally from Bulawayo, has been colouring the small screen with his unequalled acting talent as Pastor Charleston Ncube on one of Mzansi Magic’s most well-liked drama series, “DiepCity.”

The 2021 Royalty Soapie Award winner has been in the business for six years and is perhaps one of the most in-demand actors in South Africa right now.

“I started off as a background artist in shows like The Queen and eventually, I landed a role on Ufelani. One of my earliest breakthroughs was when I landed a feature role in the international movie, Rogue, featuring Megan Fox,” says Nyathi.

The versatile Nyathi has not stopped dreaming.
