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
