In her own terms, she is a humanitarian, but even that is an understatement; Zekhethelo, 13, already has a portfolio that most people could only dream of.In her own words, she is a humanitarian, but even that is putting it mildly. Zekhetholo is an actress, an activist, and a 2021 Miss Pre-Teen South Africa Finalist.
At a younger age, Zekhethelo already has an impressive portfolio that includes a supporting role alongside Palance Dladla on Netflix’s Shadow. Currently, she is on TV Scandal alongside old characters like Bra Neo and more.
Despite that, however, Zekhethelo is just getting started. At her family home in Naledi, the 11-year-old tells Soweto Urban that she has big plans for the future.Recently, she posted a picture on Instagram showing a belt written Miss Mini Teen South Africa. She is going big, and she is so grateful for the future and how it is going for her.“The main thing for me is to inspire change within young people. I want to see young people step up and play a bigger role in how the world is shaping. I want to help in improving access to education. Some people can’t get access to a good education and that that leads to unemployment of the youth,” she explained.
In terms of her support structure, Zekhethelo said her family had played the most crucial role.Ezoic“My family has always been there to support me and hold my hand. They have been supporting me since day one. My siblings always come to my auditions and hype me up so I appreciate that,” she said.
Her most important support though comes from her mother, actress, Nosimilo Zondi who spotted her daughter’s talent at an early age.
“From a young age, she was a bubbly child. She loved performing and mimicking other people. From there I saw that there was talent there. So I would take her with me when I was shooting and whenever an opportunity came up for an extra child actor, I could see on set that she was very comfortable. I then registered her in an agency,” Nosimilo explained.Ezoic
The future appears to be bright for Zekhethelo. She has many media appearances planned and will continue her community outreach efforts.
