Nhlanhla Kunene has become one of South Africa's most recognisable actors, captivating audiences through his performances in productions such as Skeem Saam, Adulting, The River, Queendom, The Life of Mandoza and several other acclaimed television dramas. Beyond his work on screen, he is equally passionate about celebrating African culture, identity and heritage. Proud of his Zulu roots, Nhlanhla has consistently used his platform to encourage meaningful conversations about the values, traditions and philosophies that continue to shape African communities.
Among the ideas he believes deserve a fresh perspective is the meaning of "African Time," a phrase that has long been reduced to a stereotype about lateness. Nhlanhla sees it instead as a philosophy centred on community, human connection, respect, and being fully present in life's important moments.
