He was a victim of death hoax which went viral in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Masoja Msiza has won the hearts of many South Africans for his portrayal of Nkunzi in the hit TV show, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/uzalo-sopie-facts-you-need-to-keep-track\/\">Uzalo<\/a>.<\/em> He almost came to break those hearts in early September when news emerged that the star actor had lost his life to a car crash. The news of his death which happens to be fake took social media by storm before soon escalating to other news websites and traditional media.<\/p>\n<p>In an exciting twist for the fans of the beloved actor, Msiza took to his social media to allay the fears of everyone and rubbish the unfounded hoax, stating that not only was he alive, but he was also fine and kicking well through the mercy of God. The rumor, according to him was started by the envious and haters who had no work but to talk about people who are busy making a success of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Nkunzi or The Voice as he is famously known, Masoja Msiza was born on 5 October 1964 in KwaThema, Gauteng, South Africa, and started his career in 1992. By the time he got his all-important role of Nkunzebomvu Mhlongo in <em>Uzalo,<\/em> he had already made appearances in many films and TV shows including <em>Sokhulu &amp; Partners, Zone 14, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/isibaya-actors-a-comprehensive-list-of-the-cast-and-crew-in-2020\/\">Isibaya<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/isidingo-cast-a-comprehensive-list-of-the-actors-and-crew\/\">Isidingo<\/a>,<\/em> and<em> Shreds and Dreams.<\/em> More so, he has published a number of poems including <em>Time to Rhyme, The 8th Man,<\/em> and <em>Women\u00a0and the Ocean<\/em>. By and large, he is a complete man both professionally and on a personal level.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Summary of Masoja Msiza&#8217;s Biography<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full Name:<\/strong> Masoja Josiah Msiza<\/li>\n<li><strong>Age:<\/strong> 59 years old (Born 5 October, 1964)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place of Birth:<\/strong> Kwa-Thema, Springs, South Africa<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best Known as:<\/strong> &#8220;Nkunzi Mhlongo&#8221; from Uzalo TV Series<\/li>\n<li><strong>Profession:<\/strong> Poet, Actor, and Musician<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Masoja Msiza Was Brought Up By His Relatives<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Gauteng born actor has come to portray strength in most of his works, something that has been a part of him since he was a young boy. His parents did not have the best of relationships, as his mother had him and his two other siblings by three different men, none of whom she was married to, and none of whom was involved in the lives of the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, the actor and his siblings were all brought up by different relatives. Msiza was raised by his grandmother and did not get to be close to his father and whey he met him for the first time, he was already a 14 year old teenager. In fact, he only got to see his father&#8217;s family on some holidays when he was lucky but for the most part, he was with his grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>The actor had always loved acting and performance since he was a kid. At the age of 9, he was already performing in school dramas while also falling in love with poetry. By the time he was 14, he was already participating in school drama competitions, one of which he won.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Masoja Msiza Got Famous For His Role as Nkunzi In Uzalo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The professional life of Masoja Msiza first kicked off after his education and working as a miner. However, he was later fired alongside others for taking part in a strike. Rather than tear him down, this propelled him to deciding to channel his energy towards his first love; acting. Like many other greats, he got his first role in a play, <em>Mfowethu<\/em> which was written and directed by the late celebrated South African playwright, Gibson Kente. Again like many other famous actors, he soon transitioned from stage to screen. He took part in more than ten productions including the popular TV series,<em> Isidingo, Isibaya,<\/em> and<em> Uzalo.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDbv7JpFMY1\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
