Natasha Thahane is the granddaughter of the South African anti-apartheid and human rights activist, Anglican cleric, and respected theologian Desmond Tutu.Her parents and other members of her family are also public figures. Her biological sister’s name is Molemo Thahane, while she is also related to actors Sthembiso and Abdul Khoza.

Apart from her dad, her aunties Theresa Thandeka Tutu, Naomi Nontombi Tutu, and Mpho Andrea Tutu, are all making waves in their respective fields of endeavors.
Trevor Thamsanqa Tutu is the man who brought Natasha into the world and the only son of Archbishop
Desmond Tutu. He was born in 1965 and attended the famous Waterford Kamhlaba School. In 1991, Mr. Tutu was jailed for three years for threatening to explode a bomb onboard an aircraft in 1989.
He has another daughter called Ziyanda Tutu, who describes herself as Desmond Tutu’s first grandchild and a wine judge. She was not well-known to the public until 2015 when the Archbishop and his wife Leah instigated a criminal prosecution against her over what they claim was “malicious damage” to a property.
Trevor hardly makes public appearances like his siblings, and it’s difficult to tell what exactly he does for a living. However, he is part of the team working on sustaining his father’s legacy. He also hardly takes matters about his personal and family life to the media, but we know that he has an adorable father-daughter relationship with Natasha.
Natasha doesn’t hide her love for her father. In December 2020, the actress told her fans that her father bought her and her little sister Christmas outfits. Trevor currently resides in South Africa and has been a great dad to his children.

Molema was born on the 8th of January 2004. More information about her whereabouts and personal life is still under the radar. She, however, was featured on the show Skeem Saam alongside Patrick Seleka.
