Patrick Mbatha (father)

  • Being a Black South African doctor, Patrick attracted lots of attention at the beginning of his career, however, not only due to his appearance and nationality. Mbatha has always had a wide range of interests and hobbies. Since early childhood, Patrick has been an extremely talkative person, that is why it has never been boring to spend time with him.

    In 2020, Mbatha got the Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine, which let him work as a qualified general practitioner. The man is currently working at Mediclinic in Newcastle.

    Though divorcing Gugu’s mother when a girl was a year old only, the man has been maintaining quite close relations with his daughter. Gugu is extremely thankful for the father to give her an ancestry, rooted to a culture which is different from the one she was brought up in.

Anne Raw (mother)

  • Raising her daughter alone, an ordinary nurse by the name of Anne could not afford much. Nevertheless, the woman did her best to give her only child the best education alongside the way to future success.

    Anne has a well-adjusted perspective of the world, which makes her daughter feel free to express herself without any pressure. The woman has always supported Gugu in all her activities. Such an attitude was typically expressed in response to Gugu’s hobbies when she was a child and teenager: ballet, theater, singing in a choir and others. Lots of years have passed, but Anne still keeps on encouraging her daughter to explore new professional horizons.

    The mother’s figure has always been very powerful in Gugu’s life. It is Anne who developed a passion for classical cinematography and literature in her daughter’s heart. According to the actress, as a child, she often spent evenings watching Colin Firth’s Pride and Prejudice on TV with her mum or reading one of Jane Austin’s novels before going to bed. Anne also contributed to Gugu’s exquisite music taste, raising her mainly on Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simon’s jazz compositions.

Siblings

  • Information about the existence of Gugu’s half-siblings has not been ever disclosed on the net. The
