Being a Family Man Is His Best Role Yet

Talented actor opens up about his marriage and what it took for him to be a good father to his children

FOR someone as famous as Rhythm City star, Mduduzi Mabaso (41), he is surprisingly humble and family-oriented. Loved for his graceful charm and humility on and off the screen, Mduduzi has a lot to boast about; a successful acting career and a happy marriage with his gorgeous wife, Fatima (35). The couple share a beautiful bond and are raising their blended family together, which is made up of four children, Njabulo (9) and Zolile (6) and Ntokozo (15) and Nompumelelo (11), who are from Mduduzi’s previous marriage.

BELIEVING IN LOVE AGAIN 

This year the couple is celebrating 10 years of marriage. But their journey to marital bliss was not a smooth one.

Mduduzi, who was married before, says committing to Fatima was not easy as his previous marriage was full of challenges, which led to him developing resentment and disrespect towards women. 

“I really don’t want to dwell too much on my previous marriage. All I can say is that it affected me to the point that I wanted nothing to do with women and I made a vow that I would never love again,” he says.

Mduduzi confesses that it was Fatima who changed his perspective on women, made him believe in love again and shaped him into the man he is today.
