Bonnie Mbuli opens up about life in the US and why she often finds herself missing South Africa.

“No one is going to love you like South Africans. If you have not been loved by South Africans yet, do something,” says actress and media personality Bonnie Mbuli.

Mbuli grew up in Soweto and has built a career that took her from local television to international productions.

She later relocated to the United States around 2014 with her then husband as they pursued opportunities abroad, spending years between South Africa and life overseas.

But it is her recent reflections on home that are resonating widely.
