As an actor, you are constantly on our screens. As viewers, we watch you religiously and become accustomed to a certain way that you look.

This is why, when there is a slight or drastic change in appearance, as fans, we are the first to raise eyebrows and ask questions. Hey listeners, this is three shocking Mzansi actors’ transformations and the reasons why.

1. Pail Maibo

Pail Maibo is a South African actor and TV presenter, best known as a location presenter who presented links from parties around the country on the SABC1 music series “Live.”

In 2010, he became the co-host of the series alongside host Bonang Matheba. When Odirile “Vinny” Sento left the show, the 36-year-old has also co-hosted the lifestyle magazine show “Mzansi Insider” and “Sky Room Live.”

In 2013, Pail was born in Ked in and is the eldest son of Busi Mhlongo. His other TV roles include “Generations,” “Lingi Kam,” and most recently “House of Z.”

It was precisely on “House of Z” where we saw that he had changed physically after being away from the limelight for so long. He really looks shockingly different. The cause? We are not sure.

2. Sneba Caba

Born on the 13th of June 1989, Sneba Caba is a South African actress, singer, and voice artist. She is popularly known for her role on the SABC1 TV series “Isidingo.”

She has also featured on TV series such as “Isaya Inaba” and “The Herd.” The beautiful actress was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is 35 years old as of 2024.

Caba recently shared photos of herself on social media, and netizens could not help but comment on how much weight she had lost in such a short space of time.

The weight loss is rather drastic, if we’re being honest. She responded and said she is not sick or dying; she is simply going to the gym.

3. Kentani Malonzo

Kentani Malonzo was born in South Africa. She graduated in drama and has a national diploma from Pretoria Technicon. During her studies, she was involved in a number of local productions as well as “McBeth” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

Fans could not help but notice how frail she looks now compared to older pictures. The cause of her weight loss remains unknown.

These transformations are not just physical; they often reflect the personal journeys and life changes of these actors.

Whether it’s a new role, a lifestyle change, or simply growing older, these transformations remind us that actors are human too, and their lives are as dynamic and changing as the roles they play on screen.
