'Mr Voice' launches his own casting agency

Mr Vhulenda Neluonde, one of the region’s most experienced actors, artist trainers, and beauty-contest promoters, has opened a new casting agency in Khubvi village. The agency, called Mr Voice Casting Agency, is named after his stage name, Mr Voice.

Neluonde is currently playing a cameo role in one of the most loved soap operas on national television, Muvhango.

During an interview over the past weekend, he mentioned that there was a demand for actors ranging from three years of age to senior pensioners. “There is a demand for actors who are over 60 at the moment. It is true that the future in acting lies with the youth, but there is also a need for people with experience in different fields of life,” he said.

When asked about his cameo role in Muvhango, he explained that he portrays one of the police officers who arrested Dr Nonhlanhla Ximba, a former medical doctor played by world-renowned actress Leleti Khumalo. Khumalo made international headlines for her lead role in the blockbuster political movie Sarafina.
