CELEBRITIES should throw a bash for teen star Thembalethu Ntuli.

CELEBRITIES should throw a bash for teen star Thembalethu Ntuli.

While their lot is generally about bling and sleaze, Ntuli, 18, has shown that they can indeed become proper role models.

A star of SABC TV's Rythm City, Ntuli also became one of the disappointingly small number of 2009 matriculants who passed their final examination.

Hope this is a lesson the Khanyi Mbaus of our world will need, and thank the diminutive Thembalethu for setting a good example in the entertainment industry.
