For Lunathi, who studied acting at AFDA and the New York Film Academy, the decision to join Rebelle felt natural.
“Joining Rebelle feels like alignment. I’ve built my career with intention and trained in both South Africa and New York. Now, I’m ready to elevate,” she shared. “Rebelle not only understands the business but values authenticity and ambition. Together, we’re going to make powerful moves.”
Rebelle’s Vision for Mzansi Talent
Rebelle founder Tanisha Colon-Bibb expressed excitement over signing Lunathi, describing her as a “powerhouse” with undeniable range.
“She’s exactly the kind of boundary-breaking talent Rebelle stands for. This next chapter is about visibility, strategy, and scale — and we’re thrilled to be in her corner,” she said.
Tanisha also emphasized the agency’s commitment to spotlighting South African talent globally.
“South Africa is rich with creativity, but much of its talent remains underrepresented. Our South African office is not just a branch — it’s a strategic commitment to helping local creatives grow their influence in the country and secure opportunities in the U.S., UK, and beyond.”
A Star on the Rise
Lunathi continues to dominate South African screens with roles in Inimba on Mzansi Magic and Disaster Holiday on Netflix. Recently, she was crowned Best Dressed and Most Stylish Personality at the 2024 Feather Awards and earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for 1802: Love Defies Time.
With Rebelle’s backing, Lunathi is set to solidify her place as one of South Africa’s brightest stars making waves internationally.
