Fanele Zulu, the actor behind NJ, is quite the opposite in real life, as he already has a family. The actor is married to an AFDA graduate named Nana Mthethwa, with who he has a child. Nana is a Jill of all trades and tries her hand in several businesses, which she has mastered with time.

Despite being a qualified actress and artist, Mthethwa fell in love with photography and is trying it on a professional level. Her photography company is called Iris Cliq, and she has worked with many people, from maternity photoshoots to outdoor picnic shoots. On top is that she is trying her hand at content creation, and her page is gaining a following as she posts content about her lifestyle and family.

Their baby is already a brand ambassador

Nana is also a make-up artist who does professional make-up for paying customers and advertises her work on her photography page. In January this year, they welcomed their daughter Luno Zulu who is already landing brand ambassador gigs. She promotes brands like Pampers and Woolworths and already has an Instagram page for her personal and business content.

Zulu took the plunge and asked his girlfriend of three years to marry him last year in August, to which she said yes. The couple has not yet shared their wedding pictures, but Nana already addresses herself as a married woman on her social media accounts.
