Who doesn’t love it when Zekhethelo graces our TV screens?  Zekhethelo is the stepdaughter of KwaMashu’s notorious criminal, Nkunzi (Masoja Msiza), in the soapie. Her character goes through an emotional roller coaster. From discerning that Nkunzi is not her biological father to being destitute and becoming a drug addict. In an uncanny twist, Zekhethelo shocks viewers as she returns for season 5 as a police officer. The new-fangled role leaves social media dumbfounded. Nyalleng delineates Zekhethelo as a young woman who grows up privileged and who forever and a day strives to be autonomous from how she grows up.

If you watch Uzalo, then you must think she is in her twenties. It’s pretty convincing because she pulls it off flawlessly. However, she is way older than twenty. Nyalleng is 40 years of age and a mother, something she doesn’t hide. She asserts that being a mother is one of the most exciting and pleasurable parts of life. Her son is six years old, and he has taught Nyalleng to be selfless.

 Actress Nyalleng Thibedi speaks on Abuse.

The beautiful actress has been voicing her concerns about ladies staying in abusive relationships.

She did the right thing.

“I always remember this conversation we had when my ex and I were courting. We were sitting by the Hudson River, and we were talking about our childhoods. He told me, for the first time, that his stepfather abused his mother. He went on to describe the nature of the Abuse and how he was just eight years old. I remember that something inside of me told me this wasn’t a good sign… not because he’s a bad person but because he had been witnessing Abuse since he was eight. That was an alarm for me, but I ignored it because, women, we always think we can change people.”

Which shows has Thabedi featured in?

Sis has been on the acting scene for a little over a decade now. Her debut acting role was in “Picture Perfect” in 2008. This was when she was working with the New York Film Academy. Afterwards, in 2012, she got a guest role in a South African drama series “Streets of Mangaung”. This helps her land more roles in series and films, which include:

  • The Society
  • iLobolo
  • Single Mothers.
  • Uzalo
