Somizi Mhlongo is a proud dad to daughter, Bahumi Madisakwane, after she bagged an acting role on a biopic which will illustrate the life and times of one of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians, Lebo Mathosa.

In the story titled, Dream, Bahumi will portray Mathosa in her younger years.


Taking to Instagram, Somizi expressed how excited he is and penned down message to his daughter.

“It is not a coincidence. Not an accident. Not a mistake. No surprise. That ur playing this role. It was written in the stars from day one. I remember the first time she met u and screamed “ oh my word I have a daughter “ and from that day on she called I her daughter coz of the striking resemblance. Take this role baby girl. Own it. Run with it. I’ll be cheering on the sidelines,” he said.

Words cannot describe.. But in their best effort, telling the story I had both dreamed and feared of telling my whole life, has been one of the most humbling experiences and gifts thus far. God Thank You. You are Faithful. May You forever be glorified. To each person who has played a role in helping me, guiding me, and pushing me throughout this process, you truly are a blessing. From my friends and my family, to the amazing crew (the greatest appreciation to the choreographers @erasmusmegan and Sis Sbongile for being extreme professionals and encouraging Aunts to me all at the same time), I would not have enjoyed this process with all the challenges it came with if God didn’t choose all of you to walk this with me. Here’s to a beautiful production, a beautiful story, and an extraordinary person I have been trusted to evoke – may her soul rest in everlasting peace. ??
