Jo-Anne Reyneke on Co-Parenting, 'Pretty Privilege' & Her Tomboy Past | Gagasi Fast Lane

Acclaimed South African actress Jo-Anne Reyneke joins Sphectacula, Selbeyonce, and DJ Naves in the studio for a fun and refreshingly honest conversation. She takes us back to her childhood in Pietermaritzburg, revealing she was a complete tomboy who preferred playing outside to sitting indoors with dolls.

Jo-Anne opens up about her experience growing up as a mixed-race child in a township, the fascination she drew, and how her mother protected her from developing any mental issues related to her identity. She also gives her perspective on "pretty privilege" in the entertainment industry, admitting she only became aware of it much later in life because of her grounded upbringing.

The conversation also covers her co-parenting relationship with fellow actor Thami Mngqolo, explaining how their mutual agreement to separate without animosity has allowed them to raise their children as a team. Plus, she reveals which of her many iconic characters is 80% her and gives the inside story on her hit new YouTube series, "Shut Up, Men Are Talking."
