Is Dawn a Sangoma?

“When you get the calling, you do not have a choice. You have to attend to it. It is filled with energy and you have to be assisted by other healers to help you. I went through a lot but I was helped and I realised that the gift can be channeled in several ways.” The renowned actress uses her acting dexterity and music to heal others and she is not going to stop there. Dawn plans to open a practice to channel her gift as a traditional healer in due course.

“I would love to have a dedicated practice, and essentially that is what I need to have, but my life right now won’t allow me a place where people can come and consult. When things slow down, I will do that but for right now I am healing through the things I do and the conversations I have.” Dawn is one of many traditional healers who are juggling the lime light and healing, as well as Letoya Makhene and Boity.

Yes, she might have battled with depression but labeling her as a person with a dark cloud hanging over her head is a bit harsh. Masses have claimed on social media that Dawn changes her mind like she changes clothes when it comes to deciding on a storyline and she gives the writers a hard time. These allegations are however false as the actress sets the record straight on whether she will leave Uzalo or not. “I have denied it. The show has denied it. We don’t know what else to say anymore. Every week a different source writes the same story over and over again. I am not leaving the series. My storyline is growing stronger and stronger,” King says.

Cheating allegations.

Women in the entertainment industry go through the most. It is next to impossible for a female actress to nail the role of a wife or girlfriend in an ongoing TV drama series without eyebrows raising. Dawn Thandeka King unfortunately falls on the end of cheating rumors just because she executes her role flawlessly. The cheating chit chat arises subsequent to the close relationship she has with Bongani (Dlamini) being exposed. Nevertheless, Thandeka clears the air and points out that she only enjoys a professional relationship with the fellow actor. Putting to flight the false allegations.

How much is Dawn Thandeka King’s Net worth?

The actress is really good at her craft and her bank balance is bagging a whopping $300 000.
