While most people believe that the majority of actors they see on screen are indigenous. The truth may astound you. Because a number of performers on our South African TVs aren't actually from South Africa, here are ten South African actors who aren't from the country.

3 is Connie Chiume
Connie Chiume is a 70-year-old South African actress of Malawian descent best known for her role as Mamokete on the soap opera Rhythm City, as well as numerous television serials and films such as Black Panther and others.
Wright Tadeyo Chiume, the actress's father from Usisya, Nkhata Bay, Malawi, is her mother. Her mother is of South African origin, originally from KwaZulu-Natal. Connie Chiume's father died in Malawi, his home country, in 1983. Connie, who was born in South Africa, regrets not having had the opportunity to experience Malawian culture. She is, nonetheless, proud of her mixed-race heritage.
Number 2 is Raphael Griffiths
Raphael Griffiths is a South African-Zambian actor and singer. He was born on January 2, 1992, in Johannesburg. Raphael's father is a Kitwe-born Zambian, and his mother is Zulu. Griffiths remained silent about his family history due to xenophobic sentiment in South Africa.
He is proud of his background, however, and recounted how his family is spread across Southern Africa. Raphael had several hopes and ambitions for the world as he grew up. He intended to study political science after completing his matriculation, but instead ended up studying Television Production at AFDA.
