Big congratulations are in order for the talented Lungelo Mpangase! The 30-year-old actress, known for her incredible performances in shows like Mzali Wam and eHostela, has just taken a monumental step in her life by purchasing her very first home. This isn’t just any home; it’s a symbol of her hard work, resilience, and determination to rise above the challenges life has thrown her way.
Lungelo took to social media to share her joy and reflect on her journey. She candidly recounted the tough experiences that led to this milestone, including stalking incidents and death threats while living in her old apartment. “Here’s to Number 1 [house]. If it wasn’t for those death threats, stalking, and scare notes early this year, I’d still be renting at that lame apartment with water issues,” she wrote. Talk about turning adversity into triumph!
Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, life pushes us out of our comfort zones for a reason. Lungelo shared, “I guess I was getting comfortable and God was like nah Ngelo we oughta move to your next level.” It’s a sentiment many of us can relate to, feeling that nudge to take that leap of faith when everything seems okay.

But that’s not all! Lungelo has also been vocal about her journey to independence, sharing how she worked hard to buy her first car in November 2021. “It slaps different when you worked hard for it. Even harder when there’s a before story lol,” she explained. She reminisced about the days when she struggled to afford taxi fare to attend auditions and the harrowing experience of recovering from a serious taxi accident that left her with a broken spine.
Through it all, she’s learned that there’s wisdom in the struggle. “My mom said to me ‘iva likhishwa ngelinye iva’ and I did exactly that!” she shared, emphasizing the importance of perseverance. Her journey is not just about success; it’s about inspiring others, especially those little dreamers back in the village who might feel like they have no way out. Lungelo’s message is clear: you can start from nothing, have no connections, and still make it with hard work and faith.
Lungelo Mpangase isn’t just an actress; she’s a role model, a qualified lawyer, and a beacon of hope for many. With a law degree in hand and a passion for the arts, she proves that you can wear many hats and succeed in multiple fields. Her story is a testament to what can be achieved with determination and a sprinkle of faith.
So, here’s to Lungelo! May her new home be filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. We can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next!
