Salamina Mosese Returns To Her Roots As She Hosts Soul City’s 30th Anniversary Gala
It’s not every day the industry gets to witness a real full-circle moment, but Salamina Mosese just delivered one with elegance, nostalgia, and star power. After decades in the game, the actress, producer and author is still booked, busy, and respected — and her latest gig proves exactly why.
Salamina stepped in as the Programme Director for the Soul City Institute’s 30th Anniversary Gala Dinner, a moment that hit far deeper than a regular hosting duty. This wasn’t just another event — it was a homecoming. A reminder of where it all began.
Because long before she became one of Mzansi’s most consistent industry talents, there was a 13-year-old Salamina landing her first-ever TV role on Soul Buddyz — a show that shaped an entire generation.

Looking back on the emotional milestone, Salamina shared: “It’s not often that work, memory, and purpose collide so beautifully. Being the Programme Director at the Soul City Institute’s 30th Anniversary Gala dinner was one of those rare moments.”
Standing on the same stage 27 years later felt like a powerful return to the roots of her storytelling journey — a gentle reminder of why she chose this craft and how deeply storytelling can touch lives.
Another standout moment for Salamina was honouring the iconic Lillian Dube, who once played her on-screen aunt and has since become her real-life industry grandmother.
Salamina expressed heartfelt gratitude for the lessons Mam’ Lillian poured into her over the years, celebrating the veteran actress for the trailblazer she is.
A Husband Who Shows Up
Salamina didn’t miss the chance to appreciate her husband, Tshepo “Howza” Mosese, for backing her through every milestone.
“Thank you for understanding what this night meant to me and for always cheering me on,” she wrote — a soft but powerful acknowledgement that had fans swooning.
She also shared love for media titan Kgomotso Matsunyane, calling her one of the first Black women she ever saw running a production company.
