The 25 year-old television presenter and actress gives us details about her career and love for the media industry.
1.How did the role on Scandal! come about?
Long before I was a TV presenter of the children religious show, Bonisanani, I was interested in acting. As part of my practical for my postgraduate course at the University of Johannesburg, I worked with the Scandal! production team – helping do subtitles. During that time, I was asked to be an extra, then to do more cameo roles. Before I knew it, I was a part of the drama series on a regular basis.
2. This is your first acting role, how has it been so far?
Nerve-wracking! However, being on set makes me love it more. It’s a challenge, but I love being a part of the show.
3. Do you and your character Ingrid Stephanie, have any similarities?
Yes, we do have a lot in common. We’re both humble, down to earth and work hard to make things work out. However, there are some differences. Ingrid is two-faced and feisty; I am not as intense as she is.
