The talented actress Siphesihle Ndaba tells True Love Magazine how she joined Gomora as Mazet, that she grew up in Mofolo, Soweto, and that her single mom raised her along with her two brothers.
“Although we didn’t have it easy financially, my mom was a resourceful woman — she got subsidies from the government to ensure that we attended good schools. Owing to my academic record, I was accepted into the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) from Grade 10 to matric.”

She also tells the publication that she almost studied for a Bachelor in Music as she was a music student at OWLAG, played in the Johannesburg Schools Orchestra, and also took part in the school’s annual musical.
“A last-minute change derailed my plan. After a conversation with someone, I realised that a music degree wouldn’t work out, so I decided to broaden my scope.”
The Soweto-born actress Siphesihle Ndaba also tells True Love that she took part in the musical I’m An Emotional Creature in 2015, which solidified her love affair with the performance arts.
“I then studied towards a Bachelor of Social Sciences at Rhodes University, and that allowed me enough time to figure out what I wanted to do.”
“I was initially torn between the arts and commerce but ended up triple-majoring in psychology, drama, and economics. One of my highlights was writing and directing a production on rape culture on campus for the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown while doing my second year.”
