Inside Ishmauel Songo’s real life

After a long search, we’ve finally found Ishmauel Songo on Instagram. Rhythm City, weekdays at 7PM.

The talented actor is very different to his on-screen character, Sabelo. Here’s what his Instagram account taught us about him.

1. He’s inspired by his roots
 

 

Straight out of Tembisa.....we wake up in the morning an we inspire to make a difference in life. I'm an ordinary guy from the hood, but it's not the hood in itself that hinders me from prospering in life, it's me being a movement that people can follow because the trend has been set. I'm working my way to the top an it's only the begging. I'm doing what I love and that's story telling. What more can I ask for? #ikasiinspiresme.....morning my good people
