Rhythm City made its broadcast debut on e.tv on 9 July 2007 as a replacement for the struggling youth-focused Backstage, News24 reported. It gained immediate popularity with viewers, bolstering e.tv's vision of producing scripted local prime-time content to beef up ratings.

Since the soap's canning, Mapula has pursued her passion for the DJ booth and polishing up her skills, TimesLIVE reported. But as she navigates the vast music entertainment space, she is making sure to drop gems on anyone interested enough to listen.

"If you give up, it is guaranteed to never happen. If you keep trying, you might achieve your dreams. You have to keep hope alive," she wrote on Twitter.

Mapula shared the profound words alongside a picture of herself, in which she appears to be sitting inside a car and looking straight into the camera. The motivational post garnered almost 7 000 likes.

Pearl Thusi sparks frank mental health discussions

Elsewhere, Briefly News previously reported that actress Pearl Thusi is among the many Mzansi celebs expressing their heartache and shock over rapper Riky Rick's passing.

This has reignited discussions around mental health and the role social media plays in exacerbating the psycho-social ill. Riky allegedly committed suicide at his north Joburg home on Wednesday, 23 February, before then-rumours about the incident surfaced online.

Taking to Twitter in the wake of the confirmation of his death, Pearl, like many others in the entertainment space, cut an inconsolable figure.
