On Isikizi, Madlingozi plays Sizwe, a young man who falls in love with a woman who turns out to be his mother. Sounds twisted, right? Get to know the man outside his character with these interesting facts.
Son of muso Ringo Madlingozi
He is the son of the legendary musical sensation Ringo Madlingozi.
Like father, like son
Apart from acting, Madlingozi is also passionate about music which remains his first love. In 2015 he auditioned for the 11th season of Idols SA and made it to the top 16. His passion for music was inspired by his father and uncle, Mxolisi Lokwe (aka MXO). It's worth noting that he created a name for himself without the help of his family. Madlingozi didn't want to get gigs based on his last name.
Talent and looks
In 2013, The Sowetan shortlisted him as one of the Top 6 Sexy Men in Mzansi out of the Top 12 category.
