LaConco on Parallels with Chilli
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, LaConco took to Instagram to express her appreciation, sharing that she had a wonderful time in the recording studio.
“I’m honoured to have stepped into the world of voice acting with BBC studios, lending my voice to dabbing Chilli (Bluey’s mum) in IsiZulu. This has been an incredible experience I never imagined. My heart is full, glory to God, I am humbled.”
Regarding her connection with the character, LaConco mentioned that she and Chilli share traits as devoted mothers.
“Chilli and I share so much in common. [She is a] loving, supportive mother who stays in her own lane. I especially admire how she values her children for who they are, without comparing them to others.”
The entrepreneur is optimistic that other mothers who speak Zulu will resonate with her portrayal.
“To all Zulu-speaking mums, abantu benu bazolithokozela loluhlelo! (I am confident that your little ones will love this show.) Sakha got to spend time with me in the studio while I was recording, and he was absolutely entertained. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing team I worked with on this project. As soon as I know when it will air, I will let you know, mnge.”
