In 2023, while some South African celebrities gained international recognition, others chose to live a quieter lifestyle. Among these “unsung heroes” were music artist Shekhinah, DJ Ankletap, actress Katlego Danke, and former Miss South Africa Lalela Mswane. Despite their lowkey presence, these stars contributed significantly to the country’s cultural and artistic scene, and speculation remains about their future comebacks in 2024.
