Muvhango actress Innocentia Manchidi who plays Rendani on the SABC2 soapie, got the surprise of her life when her family and husband threw a surprise birthday lunch for her 27th birthday while she was busy planning an intimate braai party.
“I turned 27 on the 15th of February and had such an amazing day. The plan was to have a braai at home with family for Sunday lunch to celebrate my day, but husband planned this beautiful birthday lunch BEHIND MY BACK,” she shared.
She says her husband Mpho with the help of her family pulled this one under her nose and she didn’t even suspect him doing it.
