Greatest Inspiration
Bongani Linda + Patrick Shai have both been the greatest inspirations throughout my short career in TV and long career in Theatre. Being my supporters, pillars of strength and giving me encouragement. They are both hard working, talented and persevering.

First Acting Job

Favourite acting job to date and why?
Kuku-Roof. Amongst everything it is the most powerful show I've ever performed. It conveyed a message to the youth and educated the less aware. It was about women abuse and AIDS.
