Cebelihle Thomas Gumede

This is Thomas Cebelihle Gumede, an actor, writer, producer, MC and comedian. He grew up, in and around South Africa, his family travelled a lot during his younger years and never stayed to long in one place, Thomas has always made friends easily as he's an entertainer at heart.

Some of his recent projects include acting in Zero One One, a Joziewood Production, acting in Bay of Plenty for which he won a SAFTA award for best actor, and playing a homeless child with a natural talent for writing in A Place Called Home.

Thomas never did drama as a subject in high school and surprised his mother when after finishing matric, by telling her he wanted to study acting. Surprised as she was, she was supportive and continues to be so. Hear Thomas give advice to aspiring actors...

Recently Thomas co-wrote and acted in 1 Hundred, check out the facebook group, he says when he’s not acting for other production companies, he's either writing or shooting independent films or working on new stand-up material, he's all about doing it for yourself, let him break it down...

Last but not least, Thomas is big on Africa and is all for a UNITED STATES OF AFRICA, he sums it up...
