Thuli Phongolo Instagram – HAI SUKA – be her, own her and celebrate HER! 31 October 2025 ✨
I stepped into the entertainment industry at fifteen full of passion, a hunger to learn and a willingness to grow. From Tshisa to Thula, presenting on Craz-e to landing a role on the iconic Generations… progressively joining Makoti, The Republic, Rockville and The Wife. Each project has shaped my craft and deepened my respect for storytelling.
In 2017, I expanded into DJing. That decision changed my life. It has sustained me creatively and professionally and it reaffirmed my belief that reinvention is a strength, not a risk especially through all the public trials and tribulations.
Along the way, I have been fortunate to work with respected brands through commercials, endorsements and partnerships that align with my values.
I hold a BA in Strategic Brand Management from UJ and that knowledge has empowered me to grow a business that explores entertainment, media and entrepreneurship with intention. Recently, I founded AVANA Records, a home for my music journey and the future voices I hope to champion. My first EP, AVANA, is a celebration of this new chapter.
To everyone who has supported me in any form, whether through screens, stages, social media or real-life encounters: THANK YOU. Your belief has fueled my purpose and shaped the woman I am becoming.
The foundation is solid. The vision is bigger. It is time to ascend and evolve.
