Ellah Munyai is a Model and Actress from Shirley around Elim who seem to be passionate about what she does.
On the interview she mentioned things like; on most of the movies she acted, she was given characters that were given to other people who unfortunately couldn’t make it to the shoot, so she had to replace them.
The First movie that she acted, she only appeared on one scene where the character dies right at the beginning of the movie.
That didn’t discourage her as one of her achievements on the acting scene was when she was given a main character on the movie “Boss Lady” where she did a very good job on it.
Ellah is also a model who participated on few beauty pageants where she so far became a queen twice among all the competitions she participated on.

Lester Matthews Shares his experiences shooting Movies and Music Videos in the Villages of Limpopo province in South Africa.
Lester Matthews is from Chavani village where most of his shootings take place there. He shot the first music video using one of the Nokia Music Express cellphone where he now notices so many mistakes with edits.
The first Artist he worked with shooting these music videos was Stunna King around 2017
His First Movie to Shoot was “Mashangu ya Vutomi” where he was shooting for an organisation called “Dream Chasers” from his hood around 2020 or 2021. “Shooting that movie was a learning curve for me”; he says…
The challenges however after publishing these movies maybe be viewership… as shooting movies around his hood is still something that “doesn’t exist” so far. People are still surprised but excited to see people shooting and acting movies around rural areas or villages… “But there’s hope”… He says
Lester’s celebrity crush is Shamiso, which is J Molley’s Ex Girlfriend. Lester continues showing love to J Molley that he gets help asap but people like Emtee are the worst people to try to help J Molley…
“J Molley needs Someone sober to help him”he says.

“Never Let U Go” Made Verd be More Popular… Though some still don’t know his name but they know of a guy who was featured by Pitch Black on that Beautiful Song 🔥🙌🏾
This Collab was Legendary…
If Pitch Black and Verd could go to the Studio once again… Could they Make another hit better than “Never Let U Go”? 🤔

Would you consider yourself as the King of Tsonga Rap or there's someone whom you can give the title to?
According to how I understand music (all genres), music has no King because vpeople don’t like the same style of music. That means, every individual has their own King. For example; Jesus was a King, but not all people considered Him as one. But
Would you consider yourself as the King of Tsonga Rap or there's someone whom you can give the title to?
I don't want to brag but the way I deliver my messages, I see no one who can do it the way I do, my Rhymes, Flows and Style, I'm the only Tsonga Rapper who spit my Style, so I dont consider anyone
Jungle George is a Rapper, Song writer, record producer and Model from a small town called Lindley in the Free State and I am currently doing my final year at UFS studying for a Bachelors Degree in Teaching at Bloemfontein.
Who or what got you into hip hop?
I was introduced to hip hop by my older brother who is also a hip hop artist. He was a little bit hood famous for doing music where I am from. Everytime my brother and his friends were recording in the backroom, I would always be listening through the window or outside because I was fascinated by the process of making music. I started writing songs and producing from the age of 16 and I will never stop.
What is the good and the bad thing about being a Rapper around your hood?
The good thing about being a rapper for me is the satisfaction I get after finishing a song because at that moment everything feels alright. Also I love to connect and collab with other artists and share ideas to improve each other's craft. I feel like I can only get better as I practice and learn new things.
The bad thing about being a rapper is the bullying you get from people because some of them think we are playing and will never become famous or successful in the music industry.
What is this one song that made a lot of people to know or love Jungle George?
The time I really got a lot of love from fans for the first time was when I released my first Mixtape back in 2022 called "Predator in Paradise" on Audiomac which got over 500+ plays.
How is the response from your family and friends towards your music journey?
When I first started, it was hard for friends and family to accept that I was doing music because I was not that good, but when I got covered by "G Cover Magazine" in 2020 for their artist on the rise edition which also covered a lot famous artists right now, they started believing in me.
Jungle George… what’s the story behind this stage name?
George is my actual middle name and where I come from we like to say that the hood or where we live is a jungle, so they used to call me "George of the Jungle", then I twisted it to Jungle George.
What is this one thing you wish to change about Hip hop in SA?
The lack of access to opportunities in the industry. There are a lot of really talented artists out here but there are not enough platforms.
What do you Love Most about your fans when you are on stage?
I don't mean to brag but I think my fans are the best, because they are always engaged when I perform they will sing along, scream and do nothing but show love to me so I appreciate them all. 🙏
Shout Outs
I would like to send a shout to my future self who is rich and successful in the music industry that I am on my way to. 🏃😂
