Ep. 6: Emmanuel Kabongo | Actor & Producer | Never Lose Your African Roots

This week, host Mungi Ngomane is joined by the Canadian actor and producer behind the Netflix show 21 Thunder, Emmanuel Kabongo. While today he is known for his acting work, few people know that years ago, Emmanuel had to make a choice between the stage and his other passion, basketball. Emmanuel opens up to Mungi about his family's journey moving from the Congo to South Africa, and finally, Canada, and discusses the hardships his family endured while living in South Africa. Listen as the pair discuss the importance of relying on faith and discipline and the role that Emmanuel's mother played in teaching him about honour and sacrifice.
