She is best known for her roles in popular television series like “Blood & Water,” “Skeem Saam,” “The Queen,” and “It’s OK We’re Family.” She also joined the BET drama “Isono,” portraying the character Millicent. Beyond her acting career, Thahane is well known as the granddaughter of the late Nobel Prize laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Life and Education<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born on September 25, 1995, in Orlando East, Natasha Thahane is the daughter of Trevor Thamsanqa Tutu and Nomaswazi Mamakoko. Her father, Trevor, is the son of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the renowned anti-apartheid activist, making Natasha the granddaughter of the Nobel Prize winner. Currently 29 years old, Natasha grew up with three siblings: her older sister, Ziyanda Palesa Tutu, her younger sister, Molemo Thahane, and her brother, Sthembiso Khoza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thahane attended Milnerton High School in Cape Town before graduating with a degree in accounting from the University of the Witwatersrand. In 2018, she furthered her education by completing a one-year conservatory program in Acting for Film at the New York Film Academy in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Natasha Thahane made her on-screen debut in 2013 with an Edgars commercial. In 2014, she appeared in an episode of the e.tv anthology series eKasi: Our Stories, titled “Drama King,” and portrayed Thuli in Single Galz. She returned in 2015 for another installment of eKasi: Our Stories, “uManqoba,” and also made a guest appearance as Fundiswa in the first season of Saints and Sinners, later becoming a recurring character in season two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2015 to 2016, Thahane rose to prominence with her role as Enhle Tango on the SABC1 soap opera Skeem Saam. Afterward, she joined the Mzansi Magic telenovela The Queen as Amogelang Maake, where she was a series regular for the first two seasons and a recurring character in subsequent ones. She also starred as Leshae K in the SABC3 series It’s OK, We’re Family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Thahane played Katlego Jali in seasons four and five of Lockdown. In 2020, she gained further attention for her role as Wendy Dlamini in the Netflix teen crime drama Blood & Water and joined the cast of the BET Africa series Isono. She was named brand ambassador for Garnier Even & Matte and appeared on the reality show Top Billing that same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the popular actress Natasha Thahane has been linked to various men, though some of these alleged relationships have turned out to be mere rumors. In 2019, she was rumored to be in a relationship with South African rapper, songwriter, and record producer A-Reece after appearing in one of his music videos. However, neither Natasha nor A-Reece ever confirmed the relationship, and the actress later dismissed the speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2021, reports surfaced that Natasha was dating an unnamed American man, a relationship she confirmed without disclosing his identity. Later in 2021, rumors began circulating on social media that Natasha was romantically involved with Orlando Pirates winger Thembinkosi Lorch after the two were spotted vacationing together. While neither publicly confirmed their relationship, it\u2019s widely speculated that Lorch is the father of Natasha\u2019s child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relationship between Thahane and Lorch has been clouded in mystery since these dating rumors first emerged. Some reports suggest that the two broke up after allegations that Lorch had cheated on her with a woman named Thandi Make, reportedly while Thahane was pregnant. Despite these allegations, Natasha publicly wished Lorch well on his birthday long after the rumored incident. Lorch also later posted a photo with a heart emoji and the phrase “beke le beke,” meaning “week after week,” fueling further speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2022, Natasha shared photos of her baby bump on social media. By May 2022, she posted a photo captioned “iMama,” leading to assumptions that she had given birth. Since then, she has kept details about her child private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
