WALK SALINDANI MLUNGISI MHLONGO was born on the 18 TH OF SEPTEMBER 1985 in
Nongoma in Kwa-Zulu Natal at Kwa mandlakazi in Kwa matsheketshe, in South Africa. He has 8
siblings and he is the third one. He grew up in that village and that is where he learnt his identity as Zulu
person. Kwamatsheketshe was the small village that was facing low service delivery, no basic needs
such as; proper schools, water and electricity, and no proper roads and there was no development. And
that made it difficult for him to even making it to school, hence his grandfather made him dropout of
school to go and look after the cattle. And he Lindani was staying with his grandparents, whom didn’t
care about education or its values to a person’s life. His parents were at Johannesburg working. And at
the age of 16 years, he then went to Mpumalanga at a small township called Piet Retief and that is
where he became exposed on different things.
Mpumalanga gave him some basic ideas about art and he didn’t explore much because he had no
resources to outshine. On 2013 he moved from Mpumalanga to Johannesburg to stay with his mother.
Johannesburg is the city that has plenty opportunities and his love of Art became varied. He moved to a
location called Eden Park at Ekurhuleni Municipality and that is where, he got involved into Christianity,
at the Zion church called Ubuhle Bamajerusalema. At this church he was then appointed as youth
leader and that is where he met a guy named Themba Mbane and they both convince the church to go
and record, indeed they had their first album. The church couldn’t go on with the second album, due to
financial crisis. Lindani, he then gathered the young people of Eden Park and they did a film, and
fortunate enough, they succeeded on the film because they were assisted by Mr. John Black Mthembu
with the equipment to produce the film and name of the film was called Crime Doesn’t Pay.
The film became vital and vibrant to the community of Eden Park and as well as Ekurhuleni as whole.
That is where his skill as the director and also the passion that he has about neither his community nor
his self and he was well recognized because he flabbergasted the people of his community. Lindani in his
acting career, he worked with the company called KSB Filming Production and was 2015 until 2017, and
he was the main character on the film, that he did with this company and the film was called Iphupho
and this film went vital because it’s even got played at Soweto TV. And he then did the second film
called Jozi Miapher and even though his second film didn’t succeeded as the first film that they
produced...
