The actress, singer, radio presenter, mum, and a pastor’s wife spends her days juggling all these titles.
Mpho, who was born and raised in Dawn Park, Ekurhuleni, spoke to Daily Sun about being part of M-Net’s Reyka and bagging two award nominations. She also hosts the afternoon show, Heart to Heart on Radio Pulpit.
“Juggling everything is not easy. Time management is important. You can’t be there all the time, so prioritise. Pay attention the most important, to what you need to do at that time. A good support structure is also important. A supportive partner, like in my case, enables me to do all these things,” Mpho said.
