Having made her debut onscreen appearance on the now-discontinued soapie Isidingo (The Need), it opened a lot of doors for her. She then went on to play the role of Fikile on SABC 1’s Uzalo which cemented her name in the industry. Join us as we unpack more of the story below and share the latest.

Since she was cast as Bazothini in Mzansi Magic’s Isifiso, the star has talked about how people were impressed with the way she handled the villainous character. “I had similar experiences when I was still playing Fikile on Izalo, they thought i was the character in real life” – she said.
