Finding their feet…
Times were tough in the performing industry in South Africa. When Todd and Thembi performed in Pals of Africa they would put back the money they made into costumes and recruiting more members. But then there were times where there was no work, and they had to look for it elsewhere.
Todd entered the music industry and formed part of a band that called themselves Chess, a hit in South Africa in the ‘80s. Thembi entered the world of television becoming a South African soapie star.

Todd later went to work as a backing singer for Hotstix Mabusa and Thembi went on to win awards for her work in television. They were still involved in their dance company, pouring money into it whenever they could and doing performances for companies and events.
