Tumi Morake Biography

Is a South African comedian, actress and media personality long famous for her comedy shows. What she turned up to be much later in life detracts from her experiences growing up. Her parents were anti-apartheid activists who both spent time in jail for their activism against the racist state.

Ironically, despite the turbulence of childhood, Morake would grow up to snag a degree from Wits and end up making a living from acting and from making people laugh. Can you beat that?

Age

Tumi Morake was born in December 1981, which means she is currently 41 years. She will be 42 in a couple of months.

Husband

Tumi Morake’s husband is no other than Mpho Osei Tutu, an actor, director and screenwriter. The couple has been together for over a decade, and even in their “fights,” they still call each other “babe,” something Mpho is happy to talk about.

Sangoma

The title of sangoma or local healer appears to be the fashion these days, with celebrities sharing their “calling” with members of the public. A search by UbeToo cannot confirm that she was a sangoma at the time of writing.

Weight Loss

Losing weight is one topic that has been around for as long as one can remember. While some people find it easy to lose weight, for others, it is hell. And while some people want to lose weight, others would rather not. She recalled being too embarrassed to attend her graduation because of her weight back then despite having graduated cum laude. She would shed the pounds and get them back again. She ended up writing a letter to herself about body positivity.
