Fans were recently hit with a wave of nostalgia after rare footage of the late Rikhado “Riky Rick” Makhado’s guest appearance on Isibaya between 2013 and 2017 resurfaced, sending social media on a bittersweet trip down memory lane.
On 9 February 2026, _durbanculture looked back at a hilarious interaction between Makhado (Mandelik) and the legendary actress Thembi Nyandeni (Mkabayi Zungu), a scene where Riky casually barged into MaZungu’s house looking for her son, his friend Jabu, played by actor Pallance Dladla.
With his charisma and signature swagger, the Boss Zonke hitmaker’s casual approach to MaZungu’s strict, no-nonsense demeanour provided a comedic goldmine that fans had clearly never forgotten.
Watching the rapper treat the most feared matriarch in Bhubesini like a regular Gogo, aka “Mom Dukes,” highlighted his natural screen presence and the effortless charm he brought to every room he entered.
This wouldn’t be his only stint as an actor. Riky also made an appearance during the earlier seasons of Rhythm City as Smash, which allowed him to showcase his versatility long before he became a household name in the music industry.
Riky Rick tragically passed away on 23 February 2022, and as the footage continues to trend, it serves as a powerful reminder of the light the rapper brought to the South African entertainment landscape.
