Diep City which received 32 nominations at this year’s Royalty Soapie Awards, gave Mpyana the role of Khelina after she auditioned on her Instagram in 2019.
“I did an Instagram audition back in 2019 and I didn’t know it was for Diep City, someone just told me to do an online audition.
They called me in late 2020 and told me that they have a suitable character for me and I should not bother coming through for auditions because they were already pleased with what they saw on my Instagram. The power of social media!”
